How language shapes the way we think | Lera Boroditsky | TED

I don't really agree that gramma meddles with understanding although it was an interesting Talk, please note, Lera. I am a native English and second laguage German spearker and what you say amd the moon and the sun doesn't chimme with me, just to say, respectfully.

I really like how Dr Lira Boroditsky presented this idea, because there is a key misconceptions about this thesis that unfortunately got really popular: that if a language doesn't have a word or idiom for something, its speakers can't even perceive that specific idea. Of course it's not it. Maybe we can't express that same idea using, but it doesn't mean that we can't understand it. It's harder, of course, but not impossible.

They convey directions in cardinal directions (north, south, east and west).

Excelent

Splendid ❤

This has been a linguistic debate, although I agree in part that language can determine how one thinks , to use an broad example, Eskimos may regard snow differently as someone from tropics see first time , but this is al ultimately shaped by the environment. Environment make language which shapes how one perceives. the environment shapes how one thinks , akin to Jared Diamond recent books / ideas.

Very interesting... I had never thought that way about my own thinking

Awesome 👍🏼

Algorithms recommend what we like to watch, and if we're not actively looking for different points of views, most likely we'll be exposed to views we agree with most of the time.
I’ve been trying to watch various channels to try to make comprehensive understanding of the world.
I’ve made many videos teaching Chinese language vividly and in a humorous way. I hope somebody can recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese. For beginners, Chinese characters may look complicated. But once you learn about 100 basic radicals, most characters become easy.
I hope more people can learn Chinese to get comprehensive firsthand information about China and most likely seek more job opportunities.

Would it be reasonable to consider the Anglo Colonial Fantasy as a mental health issues to allow it be treated. It may assist people who only speak the Anglo language a opportunity to move forward. Thank you.

In the Science of language, could it help people who speak a Linear language, English learn a Non Linear language, Spanish, using a key.

Natural Navigation, the leaves of ivy grow facing North for 10 years, and then these leaves grow with leaves facing South.

I loved it.

Excelente clase!

When you realise that the language we learned affects the way how we think, the approach we take is we are trying everything to find the common good between each other for the best of solution.

Gorgeous and striking, incredibly beaitiful and smart Lera. Thanks for Your ideas!
Instead of russian it would be more interesting to know about capability of Ukrainian, my native language. It more capacious and varied language than russian. And very interesting to know more about connection of Ukrainian language and our psychology.

Not worth listening to in this day and age better off watching behaviour without saying a fkn word and ditching it

Its fascinating to know about the language interpretations differences between the Spanish and German languages in terms of assigning feminine and masculine descriptions about objects like bridges and how that shapes their understanding of situations and objects.

really tired of these monolinguals trying rule the planet

that was oo cool

Lol native English speakers acting like learning foreign languages suddenly makes you think like natives of that culture. It may aid you in understanding how those individuals think, but you don’t suddenly become part of said culture. Only bilinguals tend to develop two cultures at once. You may become inundated with it, but your culture is what you grew up learning. I hate to break it to you, but other than being born into it, the only other way is you move and immerse yourself in it for years to the point you forget your old language/identity.

One may change how one thinks, but you don’t undo twenty years of cultural perspective in studying a language for four-five+ years. Especially when you’re doing it from behind a screen, sorry. 😂

Не беспокойтесь, глупые американцы
Никто не особенным

Thank you ❤

Essa mulher fala impecavelmente bem, não percebo vícios de linguagem ou aqueles tempos para pensar, tipo: "eéehhh" - A fala é fluída e clara, o tom de voz é totalmente agradável, não me dá sono, não me irrita, não desperta ansiedade. Ela desenvolveu muito bem sua oratória.

Восхитительно! Красивая девушка, красивая речь. Спасибо!

Fantastic

I totally agree that languages shape our mindset. When I speak my Cantonese I feel like I'm more toxic and negative and when I speak English I m more polite and positive. Like in Cantonese, we have many phrases or slang to blame someone and deny something while in English generally speaking there's less thing like that. And even my facial expressions are different when speaking different languages. Amazing.

这就是我学习英语，并想再去学习日语的原因。

Hello! yes you reading this. I've been waiting for you. I am happy you are here now. You are on the right path. What you seek will come to you.

Language does shape how we think, it is inate cultural , genetic and relevent to experience. My native language is Gaelic, i speak English. Cognitive awareness and enthusiasm to communicate will help will help a person connect.

Languages are not valued because they tend to be taken for granted. Yet every language is a value in itself as a collective-cognitive as well as a cultural achievement.

For the love of God, to anyone who finds this nonsense credible I would highly recommend: Plato's Cratylus dialogue or the linguist John McWhorter's highly competent invalidation of this unfortunately quite pervasive Sapir-Whorf sophistry.

I enjoying this video. Because I learn many thinks.

Guys please help me, I have lost the meaning of life, I don’t know what I’m doing and why, as if I’m in a fog, be friends with me, please give me advice
