Whereas most animals are constrained to reproducing fixed responses in certain situations, language allows human beings to create novel responses when needed. Edward Sapir's (1929) & Benjamin L. Whorf's (1940) respective challenges to the primacy of linguistic freedom are discussed, & contemporary rebuttals to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis are reviewed. Analysis of sociolinguistic literature studying the influence of gender & color on language indicates that individuals perceive the pronoun "he" as gender-specific, & linguistic boundaries affect individuals' color judgment. Contemporary prototype theory is considered, & the power of metaphors to misconstrue freedom acknowledged. 34 References. J. W. Parker
