Question

From the authors' perspective, the "firm" or deterministic version of the Sapir-Whorf  Hypothesis is true.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The firm or deterministic version of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, also known as linguistic determinism, suggests that language determines thought so strictly that people of different languages cannot understand each other's worldviews. Most contemporary linguists and scholars do not support this strong version, finding more evidence for the weaker version, linguistic relativity, which proposes that language influences thought and decision-making to varying degrees.
