The paper explores the gap in research connecting language and culture following the deaths of Whorf and Sapir, highlighting the resurgence of interest in the 1950s and 1960s with the Relativity Hypothesis. It discusses how this hypothesis became pivotal in understanding the role of language in psychological and social contexts, despite the limited empirical studies available during that time. The work emphasizes the significance of language in shaping human experience and thought processes, marking an important phase in linguistic studies.
