From tcole at adobe.com Wed Aug 25 13:04:19 2004 From: tcole at adobe.com (Tim Cole) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 10:04:19 -0700 Subject: [percy-l] Linguistic determinism exists in some form In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <000001c48ac5$90a661b0$20eb34d1@TCOLET40> Pretty provocative findings. I've always been skeptical of language determining the thoughts we are *able* to have (because our history is replete with humans thinking outside the box of established vocabularies and inventing new words for newly discovered phenomena or newly formulated ideas), but it seems entirely plausible to me that language sets the conceptual boundaries in which the average person typically functions, and within which cultures move and evolve. In other words, while we're able to transcend the boundaries set by our vocabularies, it's a minority of people who put forth the effort to do so. Pirah? High math classes would have been a breeze, though. When in doubt, just answer 'many' and you're probably looking good. > -----Original Message----- > From: percy-l-bounces at lists.ibiblio.org > [mailto:percy-l-bounces at lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Wade Riddick > Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 7:48 AM > To: Walker Percy List > Subject: [percy-l] Linguistic determinism exists in some form > > > Language affects what thoughts we can and can't have. > > > > > -- > > An archive of all list discussion is available at http://www.ibiblio.org/wpercy/hypermail Visit the Walker Percy Project at http://www.ibiblio.org/wpercy From Tpmonaghan at aol.com Thu Aug 26 09:47:45 2004 From: Tpmonaghan at aol.com (Tpmonaghan at aol.com) Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 09:47:45 EDT Subject: [percy-l] Linguistic determinism exists in some form Message-ID: Math has never been that easy for me, but it occurs to me that "many" could be that famous number (n+1) or a forerunner there to. Maybe this tribe hasn't the need to conceptualize further yet, and when the need is perceived they will move accordingly. The test reminded me a bit of the cartoon showing one lab rat, pointing out the scientist and telling a fellow rat, "Look, I have trained him to give me food when I ring the bell." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
