Wolf went to Yale University with E Sapir to study anthropology, and began to study American Indian riverbanks in 1932. In 1930s, some papers were published and "Sapir" was put forward.
-Wolf Hypothesis, edited by J Carroll 1956, published as Language, Thought and Reality. 10 after Wolff's death, American scholars became interested in his theory again. 1953 and 1958 held special meetings to discuss it.
Wolf believes that language is culture, and culture is expressed in language; Language is the medium of action, and action is described by language. As a human behavior system, culture can only exist in people's ideas about the world around them. Only by understanding what these ideas are can we understand what culture is. In his view, from language to culture, from culture to language, from culture to social behavior, from social behavior to culture, these are closed circular tracks, and people can only follow these tracks and cannot leave.
Wolfson believes that Wolff's hypothesis has not been completely confirmed after many experiments, but it has not been completely overturned. Language is closely related to culture, but scholars do not admit that language can absolutely determine people's world outlook and way of thinking.
