Retrieved literature indicates that the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is applicable to formal and artificial languages, noting that logical languages have specifically been created to test the hypothesis.
Nevertheless, the famous Sapir and Whorf hypothesis, concerning the interdependence of thought and language, is also applicable to formal languages. This means that the way an ontology is built and a concept is defined depends directly on the formal language which is used; and the results will not be the same. The introduction of the notion of ontoterminology allows to take into account epistemological principles for formal ontology building.
