Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Linguistic determinism works from the idea that culture and people's experience are shaped by language.
2. It is derived from the SapirWhorf hypothesis, which argues that thought itself is shaped by language, and people who speak different languages inhabit different thought worlds.
3. This contrasts with the sociolinguistic approach, which understands language as the product of culture and other influences.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: True
