It also reveals that the principle of linguistic relativity was so named because because Whorf saw that idea of his as having similar implications as Einstein's principle of physical relativity.

This principle has frequently been called the " Sapir – Whorf hypothesis ", after him and his mentor Edward Sapir, but Whorf called it the principle of linguistic relativity, because he saw the idea as having implications similar to Einstein's principle of physical relativity.

Bardini points out that Engelbart was strongly influenced by the principle of linguistic relativity developed by Benjamin Lee Whorf.

This part of his thinking was developed by his student Benjamin Lee Whorf into the principle of linguistic relativity or the " Sapir-Whorf " hypothesis.

Popularly known as the Sapir – Whorf hypothesis, or Whorfianism, the principle is often defined as having two versions: ( i ) the strong version that language determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine cognitive categories and ( ii ) the weak version that linguistic categories and usage influence thought and certain kinds of non-linguistic behaviour.

Whorf's principle of linguistic relativity was reformulated as a testable hypothesis by Roger Brown and Eric Lenneberg who conducted experiments designed to find out whether color perception varies between speakers of languages that classified colors differently.

The principle of linguistic relativity and the relation between language and thought has also received attention in varying academic fields from philosophy to psychology and anthropology, and it has also inspired and colored works of fiction and the invention of constructed languages.

The concept of linguistic relativity describes different formulations of the principle that cognitive processes such as thought and experience may be influenced by the categories and patterns of the language that a person speaks.

Currently, researchers prefer to use Whorf's own terminology, by referring to the principle of linguistic relativity.

The notion of " weak " and " strong " versions of Whorf's principle of linguistic relativity is a misunderstanding of Whorf promulgated by Stuart Chase, whom Whorf considered " utterly incompetent by training and background to handle such a subject.

More than any other linguist, Benjamin Lee Whorf has become associated with what he himself called " the principle of linguistic relativity ".

In linguistic terminology, English Taoism / Daoism is formed from the Chinese loanword tao / dao " way ; route ; principle " and the native suffix-ism.

General semantics considers all human behavior ( including all human decisions ) as, in principle, fully determined once all relevant doctrinal and linguistic factors are included in the analysis, regarding theories of ' free will ' as failing to include the doctrinal and linguistic environments as environments in the analysis of human behavior.

This saying signifies a hierarchy of loyalties based on proximity of kinship that runs from the nuclear family through the lineage, the tribe, and, in principle at least, to an entire genetic or linguistic group ( which is perceived to have a kinship basis ).

* Proximity principle: conceptual distance tends to match with linguistic distance

", French historian and philosopher Ernst Renan proposed a definition of nationhood based on " a spiritual principle " involving shared memories, rather than a common religious, racial or linguistic heritage.

The principle of territorial linguistic rights was instituted.

In 2010 in a publication titled " The linguistic territoriality principle: Right violation or parity of esteem " he reiterated his belief in “ territorial linguistic federalism ” as opposed to “ non-territorial linguistic federalism ”.

Despite their embrace of the principle of rectilinear inertia and the recognition of the kinematical relativity of apparent motion ( which underlies whether the Ptolemaic or the Copernican system is correct ), natural philosophers of the seventeenth century continued to consider true motion and rest as physically separate descriptors of an individual body.

It was later realized that Einstein's model was just one of a larger set of possibilities, all of which were consistent with general relativity and the cosmological principle.

* the equivalence principle, whether or not Einstein's general theory of relativity is the correct theory of gravitation, and if the fundamental laws of physics are the same everywhere in the universe.

Violation of locality is difficult to reconcile with special relativity, and is thought to be incompatible with the principle of causality.

The generalization of this statement, namely that the laws of special relativity hold to good approximation in freely falling ( and non-rotating ) reference frames, is known as the Einstein equivalence principle, a crucial guiding principle for generalizing special-relativistic physics to include gravity.

It thus satisfies a more stringent general principle of relativity, namely that the laws of physics are the same for all observers.

However, at the current level of accuracy, these observations cannot distinguish between general relativity and other theories in which the equivalence principle is valid.

The principle of simplicity can be used within Newtonian physics as well as in special relativity ; see Nagel and also Blagojević.

However, the principle of special relativity generalizes the notion of inertial frame to include all physical laws, not simply Newton's first law.

Newton enunciated a principle of relativity himself in one of his corollaries to the laws of motion:

The presence of fictitious forces indicates the physical laws are not the simplest laws available so, in terms of the special principle of relativity, a frame where fictitious forces are present is not an inertial frame:

For any inertial frame, the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force disappear, so application of the principle of special relativity would identify these frames where the forces disappear as sharing the same and the simplest physical laws, and hence rule that the rotating frame is not an inertial frame.

This principle holds that what makes a state conscious is the individual being aware of being in that state.

This principle holds that no larger unit ( whether social, economic, or political ) should perform a function which can be performed by a smaller unit.

Materialism is a realist philosophy of science, which holds that the world is material ; that all phenomena in the universe consist of " matter in motion ," wherein all things are interdependent and interconnected and develop according to natural law ; that the world exists outside us and independently of our perception of it ; that thought is a reflection of the material world in the brain, and that the world is in principle knowable.

This argument is embodied in the Copernican principle, which states that the Earth does not occupy a unique position in the Universe, and the mediocrity principle, which holds that there is nothing special about life on Earth.

Using the principle of equivalence, Einstein concluded that the same thing holds in any gravitational field, that the rate of clocks R at different heights was altered according to the gravitational field g. When g is slowly varying, it gives the fractional rate of change of the ticking rate.

Assuming that the equivalence principle holds, gravity influences the passage of time.

The principle of " methodological individualism ," which holds that social scientists should seek to understand collectivities ( such as nations, cultures, governments, churches, corporations, etc.

In nonlinear optics, the superposition principle no longer holds.

Orthodox Judaism holds that, given Jewish law's Divine origin, no underlying principle may be compromised in accounting for changing political, social or economic conditions ; in this sense, " creativity " and development in Jewish law is limited.

Furthermore, Orthodox Judaism holds that, given Jewish law's Divine origin, no underlying principle may be compromised in accounting for changing political, social or economic conditions ; in this sense, " creativity " and development in Jewish law is held to have been limited.

The principle of bivalence holds only when the Boolean algebra is taken to be the two-element algebra, which has no intermediate elements.

The principle holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently.

Another, more recently developed, theory, the Handicap principle of Amotz Zahavi, Russell Lande and W. D. Hamilton, holds that the fact that the male of the species is able to survive until and through the age of reproduction with such a seemingly maladaptive trait is effectively considered by the female to be a testament to his overall fitness.

The principle holds that design of a cryptographic system should not require secrecy and should not cause " inconvenience " if it falls into the hands of the enemy.

Vita Gudeleviciute holds that in cases of non-self-governing peoples and foreign military occupation the principle of self-determination trumps that of territorial integrity.

This class of theories holds that the truth or the falsity of a representation is determined in principle solely by how it relates to " things ", by whether it accurately describes those " things ".

According to the principle of ontological parsimony, he holds that we do not need to allow entities in all ten of Aristotle's categories ; we thus do not need the category of quantity, as the mathematical entities are not " real ".

The superposition principle holds for an infinite number of infinitesimally small elements of charges-i. e.

Another resolution, of which the Novikov self-consistency principle can be taken as an example, holds that if one were to travel back in time, the laws of nature ( or other intervening cause ) would simply forbid the traveler from doing anything that could later result in their time travel not occurring.

If Canada holds that the principle of natural prolongation applies to the Juan de Fuca Canyon on its Pacific Ocean coast, the assertion could undermine Canada's argument in the Gulf of Maine boundary dispute.

Neorealism holds that the international structure is defined by its ordering principle, which is anarchy, and by the distribution of capabilities, measured by the number of great powers within the international system.

The transfer principle states that true first order statements about R are also valid in * R. For example, the commutative law of addition, x + y = y + x, holds for the hyperreals just as it does for the reals ; since R is a real closed field, so is * R. Since for all integers n, one also has for all hyperintegers H. The transfer principle for ultrapowers is a consequence of Łoś ' theorem of 1955.
