Feel free to reply to the author. -Robin ----- Forwarded message from Nils Sch?ffer ----- Subject: Sapir-Whorf From: Nils Sch?ffer To: lojban@lojban.org Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2006 15:08:13 +0200 coi la lojbangirz I've got a few questions concerning the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Almost everywhere you can read that JCB created Loglan in order to 'test' the SWH. Can this attempt now be seen as successful, or did it fail? Or did it perhaps turn out that Loglan/Lojban is the wrong instrument to test it? I know that the strong version of the SWH nowadays is not being really supported by science, but is it still an issue the Lojban-community is talking about? I couldn't find anything on your sites mentioning this subject, that's why i wanted to ask you directly. thanks in advance for answers, Nils Sch?ffer ----- End forwarded message ----- -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
