Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Language is an astonishing gift that lets us share ideas across time and space. But does the particular language we speak influence how we perceive reality? This article explores that age-old question by reviewing evidence from psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience. It looks at how speakers of different languages think about space and direction, time, numbers and colours, grammar and agency, even memory.
