alone welcome to worlds of the limits. alone welcome to worlds of the limits of my language mean the limits of my world the loss of our lives with conspired sad that of my language mean the limits of my world the loss of our living with against in 1920 why then the following century of booming linguistic studies in 922 why then the following century of booming linguistic studies have only confirmed that if our languages indeed shape us as much as we think have only
10:55 am
confirmed that if our languages indeed shape us as much as we think we shaped them do we ever really speak our mind well to discuss that i mean i think we shape them do we ever really speak our mind well to discuss that i'm now joined by letter but i didn't speak associate professor of cognitive science at the university of california joined by letter but i didn't ski associate professor of cognitive science at the university of california san diego professor it's a pleasure and honor to talk to thank you very much for joining us on to your book professor it's a pleasure and honor to talk to thank you very much for your time thanks so much for having me now i know that you have long been studying the relationship thanks so much for. having that i know that you have long been studying the relationship with the mind the language and the world around us and i think you come to a very good bit when the mind the language and the world around us and i think you come to some very humbling conclusions that as much as real like to see ourselves
10:56 am
as the masters of our thought and our boards it works in the opposite direction to our humbling conclusions that as much as real like to see ourselves as the masters of our thought and our boards it works in the opposite direction to our language shape our experience in some very profound ways how does it work language shape our experience in some very profound ways how does it work well of course we all have many years of experience speaking work well of course we all have many years of experience speaking a language and we absorb so many habits and so many important structures in a language and we absorb so many habits and so many important structures from the language each human language is exquisitely structured there are about $7000.00 language from the language each human language is exquisitely structured there are about $7000.00 languages and all of that experience of speaking the language
10:57 am
hearing the languages and all of that experience of speaking the language hearing the language around you trains your mind to focus on some things and not others there's always a chain around you trains your mind to focus on some things and not others there's always potentially an infinite set of things you could notice about the world you could potentially try to potentially an infinite set of things you could notice about the world you could potentially try to remember about the world and language streamlet and to think about only some of their member about the world and language streamlet and to think about only some of those things to focus on only those things that the people before us who has things to focus. only those things that the people before us who built the language over many generations those things they thought were most important built the language over many generations those things they thought were most important those things got built into the language and so now those are the things that we tend to focus on in the struct those things got
10:58 am
built into the language and so now those are the things that we tend to focus on in the structures that we tend to conform and the heat works also in very subtle ways we do not necessarily with countries that we tend to conform and the heat works also in very subtle ways we do not necessarily we kind of appropriate ourselves to our own free will but we do that if appropriate to ourselves to our own free will but without necessarily realizing that there are forces that imposing certain structures on ourselves necessarily realizing that there are forces that imposing certain structures on ourselves you know we all take the language that we speak for granted it's like the air that we breathe we don't notice you know we all take the language that we speak for granted it's like the air that we breathe we don't notice it and in fact most of us believe that we simply perceive reality the way that it is in fact it and in fact most of us believe that we simply perceive reality the way that it is in fact we know through many years of psychological experiments so that's very far from the truth we don't see thought we know through
10:59 am
many years of psychological experiments so that's very far from the truth we don't see things just the way that they are instead the world that we the internal world nations just the way that they are instead the world that we that internal world we live in is highly constructed by the structures of our brains but also by the strength of it is highly constructed by the structures of our brains but also by the structures of our languages and cultures that tell us how to put things together chairs of our languages and cultures that tell us how to put things together you often talk about the symbiotic and reinforcing relationship with bin you often talk about these. symbiotic and reinforcing relationship it's been language and culture it's very hard for me personally to resist language and culture it's very hard for me personally to resist thinking about that relationship in cheek in that terms enough to sort of struggling with it thinking about the
11:00 am
relationship in cheek in that terms enough to sort of struggling with it for some time i wonder if it's actually a fitting metaphor or not in terms of what comes for it for sometime i wonder if it's actually a fitting metaphor or not in terms of what comes 1st but the terms of how the to encapsulate reproduce one another but the terms of how the to encapsulate reproduce one another yeah so i think of language as a part of culture language is a really good way there yeah so i think of language as a part of culture language is a really good way to make a part of culture very long term and universe way to make a part of culture very long term and universally distributed so if i make something like a magical engender a part of the language we distributed so if i make something like a magical engender a part of the language well all speakers of that language are going to have to use
11:01 am
that structure it's not going to be optional well all speakers of that language are going to have to use that structure it's not going to be optional if you're speaking russian you can't just speak russian and not use grammatical gender no one's going to recognize if you're speaking russian you can't just pick russian and not use grammatical gender no one's going to recognize you as a real russian speakers and so it becomes something that's then universally real russian speakers and so it becomes something that's then universally distributed through the culture and the languages can lose genders can add genders that's tributed through the culture and the languages can lose genders can add genders that process is going to have to take a very long time whereas other cultural practices can come and go that process is going to have to take a very long time whereas other cultural practices can come and go much more fluidly and may only affect some portions of the body but how much more fluidly and may only affect some portions of the body but how far.
