Introduction in linguistic relativity
Fatemi, Seyedehmaryam
Di. 12-15 Uhr
BS2.1

The world we live in, conceptualisations of the realities which surround us and the languages we speak are the main focuses in linguistic relativity. Are we influenced by the languages we speak? Do the speakers of different languages think differently? Do the Languages whose grammatical structures enable their speakers to produce sentences which give more information about the reality in the world influence their speakers to think differently? These are all the questions which will be covered in our seminar in “Introduction to linguistic relativity”. We will start with the pioneers of linguistic relativity and aim at considering the experiments which are based on the fundamental differences among languages which lead to distinct construal of reality by the speakers of different languages. Gender, Colour, time and motion events are among the fundamental differences of the languages which will be covered in detail in this class. The class will be held online, due to the current pandemic situation. There will be power point presentations and video chats through which the teacher and students interact virtually.
