balthazarus says: An interesting account, exposing some of the background which composes perception.. I firmly believe this to be true. When I read the Tao Te Ching, the introduction enlightened me about Chinese ideograms and how their language is constructed - it blew my mind to think how different the very fundamentals of their communication was and, hence, their understanding of the world. Then I read the book and it all went supernova. Great clip, Balthazarus! This is also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which has been around in one form or another since the Classical Ages. In the early part of the 20th century, it was had a strong influence on linguistic thught (and also gave rise to the false notion that Eskimos had hundreds of words for snow - they don't). Chomsky's generative grammar of the 50's nearly put it down for good, but more recent work in cognitive aspects of the science has revived it, though in a much weaker form than in the pre-Chomsky days. I would say...yes. The languages has its impact to some extent.. They forget to mention the food you eat is what really defines who you really are. http://www.videopornteens.com - http://www.fuckdollhouse.com - http://www.spunkjunks.com - http://www.lust4asia.com - http://www.geisha-sluts.com - http://www.asian-porn-teens.com |
