das sprachliche Relativitätsprinzip

principle of linguistic relativity (the idea that language can influence thought and perception, without necessarily determining them completely)

Das sprachliche Relativitätsprinzip brachte uns auf die Frage, ob wir manche Unterschiede erst dann bewusst wahrnehmen, wenn wir dafür Wörter kennen.

The principle of linguistic relativity led us to ask whether we only become consciously aware of some distinctions once we know words for them.
