I agree that the domesticating/foreignizing/exoticizing trichotomy is moralizing, but you cant argue that language is not intrinsically tied to culture. Arguing against SapirWhorf isn’t sufficient to prove that language and culture are in some way distinct. Give me a single example of a cultural form that is not bound up in language! All engagement between people is filtered through language. Fuckin dork.
