Do Chinese and English speakers think differently? While the strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis — the idea that language determines thought — has long been discredited, this book offers a more nuanced perspective on whether linguistic differences between Chinese and English influence how native speakers perceive the world. Bringing together a multidisciplinary collection of papers from fields such as philosophy, translation studies, language acquisition, and psycholinguistics, this volume explores the complex interplay between language and thought in these two languages. It will serve as a valuable reference for sinologists, linguists, and scholars of Asian studies alike.
