Recensione

'... the importance of [Lucy's] work lies primarily ... in his re-opening discussion and inquiry on the linguistic relativity hypothesis. Although others in the past few decades have also called attention to the linguistic relatively hypothesis, for various reasons attention to it has been of marginal concern ... Lucy's work will surely open the conversation. Its reopening is long overdue.' Times Higher Education Supplement
