Who opined the view that language shapes thought?
Answer: B
Benjamin Lee Whorf opined that language shapes thought, in the linguistic relativity hypothesis (Sapir-Whorf). Chomsky argued for an innate language ability, Slobin worked on how language affects thought in development and Vygotsky held that thought and language develop together. The linguistic relativity hypothesis has a strong form, that language determines thought, and a weak form, that language influences thought.
