  2. Thought is entirely dependent on language; without language, humans would be incapable of complex thought.
  3. Language is necessary for thought
  4. Language is a reflection of thought, and the Whorfian Hypothesis indicates that each language is a direct translation of the same set of thoughts.
  5. Language is only a byproduct of thought and does not influence it in any significant way.
  6. The Whorfian Hypothesis states that language limits and determines thought, making it impossible to think beyond one's language.
  7. The Whorfian Hypothesis suggests that language and thought are independent; one does not influence the other.
  8. The Whorfian Hypothesis suggests that thinking precedes language
  9. Language is an important tool in thinking but not necessary. The Whorfian Hypothesis asserts that the structure of a language influences the thinking process of its speakers.
