As stated in the passage, in the 1930s, Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf ----.
The notion that different languages may result from
different cognitive skills goes back centuries. Since
the 1930s, the idea has become associated with
American linguists Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee
Whorf, who studied how languages vary and
proposed ways that speakers of different tongues
may think differently. Although their ideas met with
much excitement early on, there was one small
problem: a near complete lack of evidence to support
their claims. By the 1970s, many scientists had
become disappointed with the Sapir-Whorf
hypothesis, and it was all but abandoned as a new
set of theories claiming that language and thought
are universal came onto the scene. But now,
decades later, a concrete body of practical evidence
showing how languages shape thinking has finally
emerged. The evidence overturns the long-standing
dogma about universality and yields fascinating
insights into the origins of knowledge and the
construction of reality. The results have important
implications for law, politics and education.
