ABSTRACT Modern approaches to the Whorfian linguistic relativity question have reframed it from one of whether language shapes our thinking or not, to one that tries to understand the factors that contribute to the extent and nature of any observable influence of language on perception. The current paper demonstrates that such understanding is significantly enhanced by moving the evidentiary basis toward a more biologically grounded empirical arena. We review recent neuroscientific evidence using a variety of methodological techniques that reveal the functional organisation and temporal distribution of the ubiquitous relationship between language and cognitive processing in the human brain.

沃尔夫大脑：语言相对论的神经科学方法

摘要 沃尔夫语言相对论问题的现代方法已将其从语言是否塑造我们的思维之一重新构建为试图了解语言对感知的任何可观察影响的程度和性质的因素。目前的论文表明，通过将证据基础移至更以生物学为基础的经验领域，可以显着增强这种理解。我们使用各种方法论技术回顾了最近的神经科学证据，这些方法揭示了人类大脑中语言和认知处理之间普遍存在的关系的功能组织和时间分布。
