Hi! Can somebody help me with my very brief assignement? Hi, I'm attending a course in academic writing and my assignement for the next week is to rewrite an informal text in an appropriate academic style. Is this good enough? Should I correct/rewrite something? In the 1930s, American linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf claimed that language might affect the way we think. For instance, Eskimos, who are known for their several versions of the term “snow”, may find our way to illustrate it reductive. Although many did not agree with Worf’s ideas, they were not forgotten. Nowadays a group of cognitive psychologists have resumed the search for the effects of language on the mind, with some interesting results. Researchers first investigated Whorfian effects in the 1950s, analysing colour vocabularies. Some languages divide the spectrum solely into two categories of light and dark, but others make finer distinctions even if they are not exactly the same. Researchers wondered whether these linguistic patterns could indicate that the speakers of separate languages perceive colour in different manners. Apparently that was no such case. By the 1970s, psychologists came to the conclusion that linguistic and perceptual distinctions were not related to one another. Thank you in advance!
