Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The idea that language shapes our perception of reality is known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, named after Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf who investigated it in the 1930s and 1940s. Leslie White was also a prominent anthropologist during this time period, but he did not contribute to the development of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Franz Boas was Sapir's mentor and a key figure in the development of American anthropology, but he did not directly contribute to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Peter Woolfson and Bill Haviland are not well-known anthropologists and did not contribute to the development of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
