Does anybody know of any research that has been undertaken dealing with the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis as applied to computer programming languages ? Briefly stated, the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis is : " Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about. " If anyone knows of any papers/technical-reports/books in the general area please let me know personally via e-mail. I'll post a summary of responses. John Lenarcic
