An alternative approach to Sapir-Whorf's hypothesis is lingustic determinism, which emphasizes on the fact that language moulds habits of thought and perception.

Still entirely within the syntactic paradigm, the goal of this system is to overcome problems associated with local ambiguity.
The claim of the determinism hypothesis is that by using a three-place lookahead buffer, and providing for both top-down and bottom-up parsing, a sentence can be processed without having to backtrack.
