Reference on why current studies seem to imply Sapir-Whorf is correct:
Nothing yet published. I'm working with van der Leeuw on some closely
related issues. You might read some studies of the process of innovation
to get some insight into the direction the field is trending now. The
question of how much culture constrains cultural evolution remains open,
but is quite interesting from a non-linear systems perspective.
