The Whorf Hypothesis, named after early 20th-century linguist Benjamin
Whorf, postulates that the language we speak affects the way we think. In
other words, speakers of different languages experience slightly different
realities. The only problem is there's no way to test it. Languages, after
all, are closely tied to cultures, which also influence the way we perceive
the world, and it's impossible to tease out one from the other. That's
where James Cooke Brown comes in. He wanted to create a "logical" language
and teach it to people under laboratory conditions. If it made them more
logical then Whorf would be proven right! Listen to Bob Garfield and Mike
Vuolo discuss Logical Language with Arika Okrent, author of In the Land of
Invented Languages: Esperanto Rock Stars, Klingon Poets, Loglan Lovers, and
the Mad Dreamers Who Tried to Build a Perfect Language.
