| Title of Paper / Poster Presentation: | WHY NEO-WHORFIAN DEVELOPMENTS DO NOT WORK |
| Abstract (about 50 words): | This paper begins by stating the tenets of what is traditionally known as the “Sapir-Whorf“ Hypothesis and brings up the new, interdisciplinary developments that have emerged since the ‘90s in most cognitive-oriented approaches in human sciences. Relying on evidence from cognitive linguistics and biology, it then tries to discredit one of the most fascinating and successful myths circulating nowadays, concerning the way in which language influences man’s perception of reality. |
