Resumo: | Language establishes itself as one of the oldest branches - since Ancient Greece - of systematic investigation. Thus, it is important to emphasize that language is a frequent object of academic analysis in both the social sciences and the exact sciences, but without a consensual understanding of its "nature". The debate focuses mainly on how language emerges in the species and its relation to human thought. So, we analyze two of the main currents of thought that have undertaken linguistic studies with respect to this issue, such as 1. The school of linguistic relativity; and 2. The school of linguistic universalism. For this purpose, it was fundamental to conduct a bibliographic research - in journals, theses and books - which allowed us to grasp the theoretical approach of both schools. Thereby, throughout this article, we seek to understand the different approaches to the relationship between language and thought, in such a way that we conduct a general analysis of relativism and then address linguistic universalism. Therefore, the debate about language and its relation with thought is establishes as one of the most relevant elements in the history of human society. |

Assim, torna-se importante acentuar que a linguagem é objeto frequente de análise acadêmica tanto nas ciências sociais quanto nas ciências exatas, mas sem um entendimento consensual quanto à sua “natureza”. O debate se concentra, principalmente, sob a forma como a linguagem emerge na espécie e sua relação com o pensamento humano. Destarte, analisamos duas das principais correntes de pensamento que empreenderam estudos linguísticos no que diz respeito a esta questão, tais quais são: 1. A escola da relatividade linguística; e 2. A escola do universalismo linguístico. Para tanto, revelou-se fundamental realizar uma pesquisa bibliográfica – em periódicos, teses e livros – que permitiu apreender a abordagem teórica de ambas escolas. Desse modo, ao longo do presente artigo, procuramos compreender as diferentes abordagens acerca da relação entre linguagem e pensamento, de tal maneira que, realizamos uma análise geral sobre o relativismo para em seguida abordarmos o universalismo linguístico. Logo, o debate acerca da linguagem e sua relação com o pensamento estabelece-se com um dos elementos mais relevantes da história da sociedade humana.Universidade Estadual de Alagoas - Eduneal2023-01-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/240310.48017/dj.v8i1.2403Diversitas Journal; Vol. 8 No. 1 (2023): Sociedade e ciência: um diálogo necessárioDiversitas Journal; Vol. 8 Núm. 1 (2023): Sociedade e ciência: um diálogo necessárioDiversitas Journal; v. 8 n. 1 (2023): Sociedade e ciência: um diálogo necessário2525-521510.48017/dj.v8i1reponame:Diversitas Journalinstname:Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)instacron:UNEALporhttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/2403/1981Copyright (c) 2023 Leonardo Sena do Carmohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSena do Carmo, Leonardo2023-03-03T13:54:47Zoai:ojs.diversitasjournal.com.br:article/2403Revistahttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/indexPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/muralinternacional/oairevistadiversitasjournal@gmail.com2525-52152525-5215opendoar:2023-03-03T13:54:47Diversitas Journal - Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)false |
