The Real News is a new internet based network which breaks the stranglehold of the TV talking heads and their wealthy sponsors on information. It's refreshing to hear interviews with actual working economists-- who as academics are paid something close to a normal middle-class salary and thus can share some of our normal, middle-class concerns-- for a change instead of just the highly paid shills of CATO and Heritage. -
Edge: HOW DOES OUR LANGUAGE SHAPE THE WAY WE THINK? By...
Rated • 27 reviews • linguistics, psychology • edge.org
For a long time, the idea that language might shape thought was considered at best untestable and more often simply wrong. Research in my labs at Stanford University and at MIT has helped reopen this question. We have collected data around the world: from China, Greece, Chile, Indonesia, Russia, and Aboriginal Australia. What we have learned is that people who speak different languages do indeed think differently and that even flukes of grammar can profoundly affect how we see the world. Language is a uniquely human gift, central to our experience of being human. Appreciating its role in constructing our mental lives brings us one step closer to understanding the very nature of humanity.
