As I teach linguistics, one of the most intriguing questions for my students is whether all human beings think in a similar way regardless of the language they use to convey their thoughts. This question has entertained philosophers, psychologists, linguists, neuroscientists, and many others for centuries. At present, we still lack a definitive answer to this question, but we have gathered evidence that can give us a good understanding of the problem. The story begins with the first American linguists who described some of the languages spoken by Native Americans. They discoyered smany awkward differences compared to the languages they had learned in school (ancient Greek; Latin, English, German, and the like). They found sounds never heard in European languages (like ejective consonants) or strange meanings encoded in the grammar (like parts of the verb referring to shapesof the objécts). Not surprisingly, some of these linguists concluded that such strange linguistic systems should have an effect on the mind of their speakers. Edward Sapir, one of the most influential American linguists, wrote: “The worlds in which different societies live are distinct worlds, not merely the same worlds with different labels attached” (Sapir, 1949: 162). For centuries, people thought that words were just labels fr objeéts{“and that different languages merely attached different strings of sounds to things or, more accurately to concepts. Now it was suggested that the world might be perceived differently by péople\speaking different languages. Or, more radically, people could only perceive aspects of the world for whichitheir languages have words. Really? A usefiil way of testing Sapir’s claims focuses on color perception. Color distributes continuously (it depends on the wavelength of the light), but it is perceived categorically. Interestingly, the number of basic terms for colors is far smaller than the number, of color tones we can perceive. Moreover, this number differs from one language to another, For instance, Russian has twelve basic terms for colors, whereas Dani, a language spoken in New Guineaphas only two: mili (for cold colors) and mola (for warm colors). Researchers found that Dani pedple are ableto distinguish among different color tones (like red, yellow, and orange) despite labelling them identically,(mola). They also found that people distinguish better between two color tones that are named differently (for instance, blue and green). Because different languages frame the continuum of color in different ways, people speaking different languages are expected to focus differently regarding colors. Int some sense, Sapir was half-right. This effect of framing or filtering is the main effect we cafhexpect — regarding language — from perception and thought. Languages do.not-limit our ability to peretive the world or to think about the world, but they focus our perception, attention, arid thought on specific aspects of the world. 28, What is the putpose/0f paragraph 1?
