Pemikiran merujuk kepada suatu yang difikirkan dan dicernakan dalam bentuk idea, saranan atau konsep yang boleh dilakukan atau dilaksanakan sehingga bangsa itu memiliki dan mewarisi pemikiran itu (Aziz Deraman, 2007)

The other side of the argument, known as the universalist hypothesis, suggests that thought determines language. This means that we have concepts and categories in our minds that we then try to express through language. For example, we all have the concept of "blue", and we all have words to express this concept, regardless of what language we speak. This suggests that language is simply a tool we use to communicate our thoughts, and that it does not shape our thoughts themselves.

 

The truth is likely somewhere in between these two extremes. Language and thought are not independent of each other, but they do not determine each other either. They are constantly influencing each other in a complex and dynamic way.

 

Here are some examples of how language can influence thought:

 

Language can limit our ability to think about certain concepts. For example, if a language does not have a word for "blue", it may be difficult for speakers of that language to think about the concept of blue.

Language can lead us to think in certain ways. For example, if a language always frames a particular event in a negative light, this may lead speakers of that language to think about that event in a negative way as well.

Here are some examples of how thought can influence language:

 

Our thoughts can influence the way we speak. For example, if we are thinking about something sad, we may be more likely to use words that are associated with sadness.

Our thoughts can influence the words we choose to use. For example, if we are trying to persuade someone to do something, we may be more likely to use words that are associated with persuasion.

Overall, the relationship between thought and language is complex and fascinating. It is an area that is still being actively researched, and there is still much that we do not understand. However, it is clear that language and thought are not independent of each other, and that they are constantly influencing each other in a way that shapes our understanding of the world. [Group 4]

Group 3: Language determines thought

 

Language is more than just item labels. We may communicate intricate concepts and thoughts to others through language, both in writing and speech. We may also elicit emotion, creativity, and action through words (Zagada, 2020)

Group 3

When we speak one language, we agree that words are representations of ideas, people, places, and events. The given language that children learn is connected to their culture and surroundings.

The relationship between thought and language is dynamic; while our thoughts influence the language we use, the language we speak also shapes and channels our thoughts. It's a reciprocal connection where one influences the other. For example, Imagine someone who speaks multiple languages fluently. Depending on the language they are using, their thought patterns and expression may vary. For instance, we might feel more expressive or emotionally connected when using one language compared to another, showcasing how their thoughts are influenced by the specific language they are using at the moment.

GROUP 3- THE SAPIR WHORF HYPOTHESIS

 

The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, also known as linguistic relativity, refers to the idea that the language a person speaks can influence their worldview, thought and even how they experience and understand the world.

According to research, thought comes before language. A child is born with the ability to think about objects before they learn language. Although thought comes first, the language an individual speaks influences their mind and ability to interact with the world around them.( Langford. L & Muscato. C). 2022.

Group 2

The linguistic relativity hypothesis, the proposal that the particular language we speak influences the way we think about reality, forms one part of the broader question of how language influences thought.

 

Group 2

the Sapir - Whorf hypothesis claims that people from different cultures think differently because of difference in their languages. - GROUP 1

Please divided into 4 groups (2 each).

Group 1&3 language determine thoughts

Group 2 & 4 Our thoughts determine language.
