Lucy's 'grammatical categories and cognition.' (John A. Lucy's 'Grammatical Categories and Cognition')
Article Abstract:
John Lucy's 'Grammatical Categories and Cognition: A Case Study of the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis' presents a comparative case study of the English language and Yucatec Maya in an attempt to test the widely-held belief that thinking is influenced by differences in language structure. The book is one of a few that details a study on linguistic relativity, which is a concept that has profound implications on the human sciences.
