人们可能会普遍同意这样一个命题，即我们社会中被接受的准则倾向于某些解释的选择。使用语言的模式往往先于某些思维方式和行为形式，但赞同这种说法的人通常只看到一方面是对哲学和学术术语或另一方面是流行语、口号和战斗口号的催眠力量的陈词滥调的承认。如果只看到这里，就会忽略萨皮尔所看到的语言、文化和心理学之间的重要联系，并在引言中简洁地表达出来。我们需要认识到语言对其他活动的影响，包括文化活动和个人活动，与其说是语言的这些特殊用法，不如说是它对数据的不断排列方式和对现象的最普通的日常分析。
There will probably be general assent to the proposition that an accepted s of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation.pattern of using words is often prior to certain lines of thinking and forms of behavior, but he who assents often sees in such a statement nothing more than a platitudinous recognition of the hypnotic power of philosophical and learned terminology on the one hand or of catchwords, slogans, and rallying cries on the other. To see only thus far is to miss the point of one of the important interconnections which Sapir saw between language, culture, and psychology, and succinctly expressed in the introductory quotation. It is not so much in these special uses of language as in its constant ways of arranging data and its most ordinary everyday analysis of phenomena that we need to recognize the influence it has on other activities, cultural and personal.
