 Linguistic determinism isn’t an especially promising doctrine and has few adherents these days, but linguistic relativity is the subject of a spirited debate (see Gumperz &amp; Levinson 1996, Bowerman &amp; Levinson 2001, and Gentner &amp; Goldin-Meadow 2003). Some recent examples of particular interest include whether language influences how we conceptualize spatial frames of reference (in non-linguistic spatial reasoning) (e.g., Li &amp; Gleitman 2002, Levinson et al. 2002, Levinson 2003, Li et al. 2011), spatial relations (in non-linguistic reasoning) (e.g., Choi &amp; Bowerman 1991, Hespos &amp; Spelke 2004), sex (the impact of grammatical gender) (e.g., Boroditsky, Schmidt, &amp; Phillips 2003) and number (e.g., Gordon 2004, Pica et al. 2004, Laurence &amp; Margolis 2007).
