However, the idea that different languages may influence thinking in different ways has been present in many cultures and has given rise to many philosophical treatises. Linguists and other social scientists interested in universals have formulated theories to describe and explain human language and human language behavior in general terms as species-specific capacities of human beings.

On the one hand, anyone who has learned more than one language is struck by the many ways in which languages differ from one another. There is great disagreement, however, about the proposition that each specific language has its own influence on the thought and action of its speakers. No one would disagree with the claim that language and thought interact in many significant ways.
