About this listen

Dive into the deep connection between language, thought, and reality through the lens of linguistic relativity.


We explore the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, showing how vocabulary and grammar shape perception—from colors to spatial awareness.


Discover how metaphors frame abstract thought, why untranslatable words reveal unique experiences, and how multilingualism and digital media expand the ways we think and perceive the world.
