Abstract

By confronting two linguistic myths, a strong linguistic relativist thesis and the idea that communication is the only means of language, this article demonstrates that some aspects of language mold some habits of thought and that language provides different speech communities with distinct behavioral patterns to accomplish specific social actions adequately. The article, thus, argues that there is strong empirical evidence to support a reciprocally influential relationship between language, thought, and society.

期刊介绍： Language Sciences is a forum for debate, conducted so as to be of interest to the widest possible audience, on conceptual and theoretical issues in the various branches of general linguistics. The journal is also concerned with bringing to linguists attention current thinking about language within disciplines other than linguistics itself; relevant contributions from anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, among others, will be warmly received. In addition, the Editor is particularly keen to encourage the submission of essays on topics in the history and philosophy of language studies, and review articles discussing the import of significant recent works on language and linguistics.
