For this reason, this hypothesis has alternatively been referred to as LINGUISTIC DETERMINISM and LINGUISTIC RELATIVITY — a view which " was first expounded by the German ethnologist, Wilhelm von Humboldt." (Crystal, 1985: 262)

沃尔夫的这种求学经历，加上自己对于印第安豪皮（Hopi）语的研究，使其对语言相对性理论有了独特理解，最终形成了著名的 “萨丕尔 — 沃尔夫假说”（Sapir - Whorf Hypotheses）。这个假说认为，语言塑造了我们的思维模式；相应地，不同的语言表达决定了人们认识世界方式的不同。从这个观点出发，可以得到两点认识：一方面，语言可以决定我们的思维方式；另一方面，语言之间的相似性是相对的，结构性差异越大，反映出对于世界的认识越不同。因此，这个假说也被称作 “语言决定论”（Linguistic Determinism）和 “语言相对义”（Linguisti c Relativity）。实际上，这种看法 “最早是由德国民族学家洪堡特提出并加以阐释的”（Crystal， 1985： 262）。
