Sapir-Whorf hypothesis

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis was an idea that the structure of a language influenced its speakers' world view. According to the Sixth Doctor, it was related to the way the Carrionites used word-based science to reshape reality, which was commonly seen as witchcraft. (AUDIO: The Carrionite Curse)
