单选题 Advocates of linguistic determinism insist that ______.

A、 the realities constructed through different languages are different
B、 language and thought are intimately related to each other
C、 culture is shaped by language through which it expresses itself
D、 both the culture and the mind determine the language to be used

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】从文章第一段“Terwilliger defines linguistic determinism as…that we speak and the words that we use．”可知，Terwilliger将语言决定论解释为一种过程，他认为人大脑的功能取决于他说的那种语言。由于全世界的语言不同，思维方式也有所差异。所以答案为A，B，C，D都不是文中讲到的linguistic determinism的观点。
