The language hoax : why the world looks the same in any language / John H. McWhorter. by McWhorter, John H. Oxford University Press, [2014] Call #: 401 M177L Subjects Language and culture.   Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. ISBN:  9780199361588 (hc.) 0199361584 (hc.) Description:  xx, 182 p. : ill. ; 19 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Japanese has a term that covers both green and blue. Russian has separate terms for dark and light blue. Does this mean that Russians perceive these colors differently from Japanese people? Does language control and limit the way we think? This short, opinionated book addresses the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which argues that the language we speak shapes the way we perceive the world."--From publisher.
