#STRONG SAPIR-WHORF (shakes my fist) YOULL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE#of course certain linguistic metaphors will determine the visual metaphors you use. that does NOT mean your interpretations are LIMITED#to your linguistic patterns. BTW AFAIK ARRIVAL (2016) IS BASED ON STRONG S-W INTERPETATION WHICH IS NO LONGER CONSIDERED FULLY ACCURATE!!!!#DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP OF LINGUISTIC PRESCRIPTIVISM AND PURITANISM!!!! IT WILL NOT LEAD TO GOOD PLACES#hesitant to rb this because i don't want people misinterpreting the material here. that's why i added to the post first#YES our metaphors for time influence the direction in which we *visualize* it#but NO that does not mean we are incapable of conceiving of concepts for which words do not exist in our native language!!!!!#anyways. UGH SAPIR WHORF WHY DO YOU HAUNT ME!!! I HOPE YOU ARE LESSENED TO AN ACCEPTABLE DEGREE BEFORE I SEE YOU AGAIN!!#do NOT darken my doorstep strong s-w i hate you and do not want to see you. fuck you to be honest#strong s-w is one of my academic nemeses if you couldn't tell. grrgrggfr#linguistics#toasty talks#sapir-whorf hypothesis
