Whorf Hypothesis in Scientific American



Thanks to James Jennings of the Loglanists List for referencing this article, which describes several recent confirmatory experiments for Whorf effects, one of which apparently involving an artificial language (other than Lojban), so we may start to be able to find linguists who will be interested in trying to work with Lojban.

The SA article in turn points to

http://www.sunflower.com/~dewatson/alford.htm

which has an extensive set of papers that are pro-Whorfian hypothesis. I haven't had time to read these though.
