Linguistic determinism refers to the hypothesis that languages determine non-linguistic cognitive processes such as the perception of shapes. It is the hypothesis that language determines thought, with the corollary that speakers of different languages may, as result, think differently. Linguistic determinism is also known as the Whorfian hypothesis.
