1. Discuss the relationship between language and our perception of reality in terms of linguistic relativity and linguistic determinism

Answer.: When we talk about language, we often dig down to "universal" categories like nouns & verbs, consonants & vowels, phrases & sentences. We end up with these cross-language concepts that individual languages are built on, almost as if the colourful diversity found in the world's languages is just icing on the strong unity of the linguistic cake. And LANGUAGE is grounded in our way of thinking and processing information, which is itself universal among humans. So, languages and cultures are superficial, but language and cognition run deep.
