The way you speak says a lot about you.(19)Your dialect or accent might tell people where you grew up, for instance, while your vocabulary may suggest the type of education you’ve had.
But can the language you use indicate the way you think, or help you form those thoughts?
In the 1930s, American language expert Benjamin Lee Whorf argued that language did indeed affect thought. For instance, Eskimos use at least seven different terms for snow, and they must find our simple way of talking about it without thinking, he suggested. While Whorf s views were not favored— especially that native language created what amounts to a constraint for thought—they weren’t forgotten. Now a group of psychologists has started again the search for the effects of language on the mind, with some interesting results.
Researchers first found out Whorfian defects in the 1950s, looking at color vocabularies. Some languages classify the color into just two categories of light and dark; others make finer, but not necessarily the same. Do these language patterns mean that speakers of separate languages perceive color in different ways? Apparently not.(20)By the 1970s, psychologists concluded that language and thinking differences were not dependent on one another.
The conclusion stuck. The experts were and remain convinced by Noam Chomsky of MIT, who discovered that no matter how different human languages seem, all share a common, basic structure, as if it was in the brain when people were born.
