Listen "How Language Shapes Thought"
Episode Synopsis
Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf once hypothesized that language influences thought rather than the reverse.

Dr Sharifah Ayeshah joins us to discuss how language shapes thought. Image source: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
