This hypothesis suggests that our language will mould our view of the world. The hypothesis has two important points: linguistic determinism—language may determine our thinking patterns and linguistic relativity— similarity between language is relative, the greater their structural differentiation is, the more diverse their conceptualization of the world will be. Thus, two versions of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis have been developed, a strong version and a weak version. The strong version of the theory emphasizes the decisive role of language as the shaper of our thinking patterns. The weak version of the hypothesis, however, is a modified type of its original theory, suggesting that there is a correlation between language, culture and thought, but the cross-culture differences thus produced in our ways of thinking are relative rather than categorical.
