摘　　要：语言相对论思想在二十世纪三、四十年代一经提出,便引起普遍关注,褒贬不一。但是理论评述多,实证研究少,难有令人信服的结论。八、九十年代以来,这一学说重又引起人们的兴趣,研究者普遍崇尚实证,讲究方法上的严谨,取得了令人瞩目的进展。本文介绍西方近期实证研究成果,以期引起同行关注,为结合汉语的相关研究提供背景知识。The idea of linguistic relativity has given rise to much controversy once it was proposed during 1930s and 1940s. There have been rare empirical studies in spite of the great concern and much comment on it, which can rarely lead to convincing conclusions. Since 1980s and 1990s interest in the hypothesis has been revived with the focus on empirical assessment and scientific methods, which has resulted in some distinguished progress. Till now, however, there has been rare serious research concerned in China and most of the reviews related are based on second-hand materials. The article is meant to provide some background knowledge for related research on Chinese by a survey of the empirical studies in the west in recent years.
