This URL is a LINGUIST list posting about Science
Fiction books/stories/movies in which the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis (SWH) is a
cogent element of the story.
http://linguistlist.org/issues/21/21-921.html
For those of you who were not around in 1939 when Whorf?s "The relation of
habitual thought and behaviour to language" was published ... or in 1956
when his "Language, thought and reality" was published, the SWH deals with
the influence of language on perception, thought, and behavior.
Ciao, Izzy
