Re-evaluating evidence for linguistic relativity: reply to Boroditsky (2001). January, D. & Kako, E. Cognition, 104(2):417-26, 2007. doi abstract bibtex Six unsuccessful attempts at replicating a key finding in the linguistic relativity literature [Boroditsky, L. (2001). Does language shape thought?: Mandarin and English speakers' conceptions of time. Cognitive Psychology, 43, 1-22] are reported. In addition to these empirical issues in replicating the original finding, theoretical issues present in the original report are discussed. In sum, we conclude that Boroditsky (2001) provides no support for the Whorfian hypothesis.
