B.Sapir.

C.Franz.

D.Yale.

答案

参考答案:B

解析:[听力原文]33-35
Unlike Boas, who had only suggested language as a measure of culture, Sapir proposed a mutual relationship between culture and language.
When Sapir was teaching at Yale; Benjamin Lee Whorl enrolled in his class. A chemical engineers, Whorf neither sought nor obtained a higher degree in linguistics. His contribution to the science of language is nonetheless significant.
Whorf was recognized for his investigations of the Hopi language, including his authorship of a grammar and a dictionary. Even in his early publications, it is clear that he was developing the theory that the very different grammar of Hopi might indicate a different manner of conceiving and perceiving the word on the part of the native speaker of Hopi.
In 1936, he wrote his monumental work "An American Indian Model of the Universe," which explored the implications of the Hopi verb system with regard to the Hopi conception of space and time.
Whorf is probably best known for his article, "The Relation of Habitual Thought and Behavior to Language," and for the throe articles which appeared in 1941 in the Technology Review.
In these articles, he proposed what he called the principle of "linguistic relativity," which states, at least as a hypothesis, that the grammar of a man’s language influences the manner in which he understands reality and behaves with respect to it. Since the theory did not emerge until after Whorf had begun to study with Sapir, and since Sapir had most certainly shared in the development of the idea, it came to be called the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis.
33. Who was Whorls teacher

  余忆童稚时,能张目对日,明察秋毫,见藐小微物,必细察其纹理,故时有物外之趣。

  夏蚊成雷,私拟作群鹤舞空。心之所向,则或千或百果然鹤也。昂首观之,项为之强。又留蚊于素帐中,徐喷以烟,使其冲烟飞鸣,作青云白鹤观,果如鹤唳云端,怡然称快。

  于土墙凹凸处,花台小草丛杂处,常蹲其身,使与台齐;定目细视,以丛草为林,以虫蚁为兽,以土砾凸者为丘,凹者为壑,神游其中,怡然自得。

  一日,见二虫斗草间,观之正浓,忽有庞然大物拔山倒树而来,盖一癞虾蟆也,舌一吐而二虫尽为所吞。余年幼,方出神,不觉呀然惊恐。神定,捉虾蟆,鞭数十,驱之别院。
