The American anthropologist-linguist Edward Sapir and his student Benjamin Lee Whorf proposed a sweeping, two-pronged hypothesis concerning language and thought. There are debates about the relationship between language and thought. In this paper, the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis is re-evaluated and justified from the perspective of the contrastive linguistic features. Its purpose is to understand and transcend linguistic differences. We must acknowledge differences, respect differences,and then finally transcend linguistic and cultural differences to communicate equally.
