İyi ki podcast serisinin yeni bölümü yayında!"DİL, Kültür ve Ahlak Bilgisi" Bu bölümde DİL kavramını yatırıyoruz masaya. Dil ve kültür ilişkisini irdeliyoruz.  Dil, bizim düşünce biçimimizin sınırlarını belirliyor. Kullandığımız ve kullanamadığımız dil, kelimeler ve cümleler dünyamızı şekillendiriyor. Genişletiyor ya da daraltıyor.  Biz dilimiz kadarız diyebilir miyiz? Agota Cristof ile başlıyoruz. Cristof'un sığınmacı olarak geldiği İsviçre'deki dil öğrenme yolcuğuna ve karşılaştığı zorluklara değiniyoruz yazdığı "Okumaz Yazmaz" kitabı ekseninde.  Peki biz okuyarak dilimizi ve düşüncelerimizin sınırlarını nasıl genişletebiliriz?  Sadece kendi dilimize ve kültürümüze ait olan kavramlar, ifadeler ve kelimeler başka dillerden kendine yer bulabiliyor mu? Anadilimiz ve içinde bulunduğumuz kültür varoluşumuzun karakteristik özelliklerimi taşıyor.  Lera Boroditsky'den Humboldt'a, Sapir-Whorf hipotezinden Noam Chomsky'e, pidgin ve kreol dillerinden, Arrival filmine; geniş bir yelpazede birlikte yüzüyoruz. Ve son olarak da soruyoruz: Konuştuğumuz yabancı diller arasında geçiş yaptığımızda karakterimiz de değişiyor mu? Hadi gelin hep birlikte irdeleyelim. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/iyiki/message

Beeinflusst die Sprache, die wir sprechen, die Art und Weise, wie wir denken? Sapir, Whorf und zahlreiche andere Linguist*innen sagen: ja! Aber wie ließe sich so ein Einfluss feststellen? Und wie stark soll dieser Einfluss sein? Seit circa 100 Jahren gibt es die Sapir-Whorf-Hypothese, die aber in ihrer reinen Form längst schon keine Anhänger*innen mehr hat außer in der Fiktion.Ein Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

Nehmen Sprachen Einfluss auf unser Denken? Eine alte Frage der Sprachwissenschaft, die bis zu Platon und Wilhelm von Humboldt zurückgeht. In dieser Folge von Talking Bodies schauen wir uns eine der populärsten Sprachtheorien dazu genauer an: die Sapir-Whorf-Hypothese. Wir gehen der Frage nach, ob die Sprache, die eine Person spricht, ihre Wahrnehmung und ihr Denken beeinflusst, indem sie bestimmte Konzepte und Gedanken fördert oder einschränkt. Wir sprechen darüber wie Raum und Zeit in unterschiedlichen Sprachen und Kulturen variieren können, was das über unser Denken aussagt und wir teilen einen Fangirlmoment mit Euch, wenn wir über die Forschung der Kognitionswissenschaftlerin, Lera Boroditsky, sprechen. Aufhänger unserer Folge ist nicht nur die Aktualität dieses Forschungsthemas, sondern Janas Twitchauftritt im Format “Wissenschaflter reagieren”, in dem sie mit Doktor Whatson und Daniel Angerhausen über den Film “Arrival” gesprochen hat. “Wissenschaftler reagieren” könnt ihr auf Twitch https://m.twitch.tv/arte_tv/home oder auf Youtube verfolgen https://www.youtube.com/@artede.

Are there really dozens of words for snow in northern cultures? What did the movie Arrival have to do with language and cognition? Why are Russians better than Americans at distinguishing certain shades of blue? And what does any of this have to do with space, time, gender, and how your language influences your thought? Join Eagleman and his guest, cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky, as they take a deep dive into the intersection of words and understanding.

If you're bilingual or multilingual, you may have noticed that different languages make you stretch in different ways. This week, we revisit a favorite 2018 conversation with cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky. She studies how the structure of the languages we speak can change the way we see the world. Then, a 2017 conversation with linguist and author John McWhorter, who shares how languages evolve, and why we're sometimes resistant to those changes.If you like today's show, be sure to check out our recent episode about how the culture we live in can shape the emotions we feel.

Democracy depends on our ability to choose our political views. But the language we use to talk about political issues is deliberately designed to be divisive, and can produce up to a 15-point difference in what we think about those issues. As a result, are we choosing our views, or is our language choosing them for us?This week,Your Undivided Attention welcomes two Jedi Masters of political communication. Drew Westen is a political psychologist and messaging consultant based at Emory university, who has advised the Democratic Party. Frank Luntz is a political and communications consultant, pollster, and pundit, who has advised the Republican Party. In the past, our guests have used their messaging expertise in ways that increased partisanship. For example, Luntz advocated for the use of the term “death tax” instead of “estate tax,” and “climate change” instead of “global warming.” Still, Luntz and Westen are uniquely positioned to help us decode the divisive power of language — and explore how we might design language that unifies.CORRECTIONS: in the episode, Tristan refers to a panel Drew Westen and Frank Luntz were on at the New York Public Library. He says the panel was “about 10 years ago,” but it was actually 15 years ago in 2007. Also, Westen refers to a news anchor who moderated a debate between George H. W. Bush and Michael Dukakis in 1988. Drew mistakenly names the anchor as Bernard Kalb, when it was actually Bernard Shaw.RECOMMENDED MEDIAThe Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the NationDrew Westen's 2008 book about role of emotion in determining the political life of the nation, which influenced campaigns and elections around the worldWords That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People HearFrank Luntz's 2008 book, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the tactical use of words and phrases affects what we buy, who we vote for, and even what we believe inNew York Public Library's Panel on Political Language A 2007 panel between multiple 'Jedi Masters' of political communication along the political spectrum, including Frank Luntz, Drew Westen, and George Lakoff RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESThe Invisible Influence of Language with Lera Boroditsky: https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/48-the-invisible-influence-of-languageHow To Free Our Minds with Cult Deprogramming Expert Dr. Steven Hassan: https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/51-how-to-free-our-mindsMind the (Perception) Gap with Dan Vallone: https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/33-mind-the-perception-gapYour Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

Language allows us to connect with people from around the world. It opens our minds and hearts to new experiences and different ways of life. But learning a new language can be really difficult, so how did we do it as children? And are our adult brains even cut out for learning new languages? CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta talks to Professor John Schwieter about what's happening in the brain when we learn a new language and the potential health benefits of being bilingual. Plus, cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky explains how language may have the power to shape the way we think and see the world.

There are about 7,000 languages in the world, all with different vocabularies, sounds, and alphabets—but how do these structural differences influence how we interpret the world?   Lera Boroditsky is a cognitive scientist recognized for studying how the languages we speak shape the way we think.   After emigrating to America from Belarus, Lera learned English and began to recognize how differences in languages can shape an argument and exaggerate the differences between others.   Today, Lera shares how people view the world differently based on their linguistic backgrounds and how her research has provided influential insight in the fields of psychology, philosophy, and linguistics.   To learn more about today's episode, visit JohnOLearyInspires.com/podcast.

One of the oldest technologies we have is language. How do the words we use influence the way we think?The media can talk about immigrants scurrying across the border, versus immigrants crossing the border. Or we might hear about technology platforms censoring us, versus moderating content. If those word choices shift public opinion on immigration or technology by 25%, or even 2%, then we've been influenced in ways we can't even see. Which means that becoming aware of how words shape the way we think can help inoculate us from their undue influence. And further, consciously choosing or even designing the words we use can help us think in more complex ways – and address our most complex challenges.This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're grateful to have Lera Boroditsky, a cognitive scientist who studies how language shapes thought. Lera is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, and the editor-in-chief of Frontiers in Cultural Psychology.Clarification: in the episode, Aza refers to Elizabeth Loftus' research on eyewitness testimony. He describes an experiment in which a car hit a stop sign, but the experiment actually used an example of two cars hitting each other.RECOMMENDED MEDIA How language shapes the way we thinkLera Boroditsky's 2018 TED talk about how the 7,000 languages spoken around the world shape the way we thinkMeasuring Effects of Metaphor in a Dynamic Opinion LandscapeBoroditsky and Paul H.

Language - the backdrop for all of our communication with the world, whether written, verbal, or otherwise, plays a significant role in shaping who we are; but how often do we actually think about the part it plays? Today we dig into some pretty interesting perspective on language, and share this link to the TED talk with Lera Boroditsky. Check it out after the pod for an incredible look at languages outside of your own, and how different cultures and languages actually perceive the world differently as a result.

One day, during a talk, she conducted a simple experiment: she asked a group of scholars to close their eyes and point south-eastwards. There were fingers pointed in every posible direction. However, Lera Boroditsky knew that if she asked the same question to a girl from an Aboriginal community in Australia she would point her finger in the right direction. “Aboriginals do not use directions such as left or right, and instead everything is in cardinal directions,” says the scientist. In the world there are some 7,000 languages, with different vocabularies, sounds and alfabets. Do differences affect the way we see the world? “Language has a profound impact on our perception,” says Boroditsky.   Lera Borodistky is a cognitive scientist, psychologist and professor. Her research focuses on the complex differences in human communication. “I'm interested in how human beigns develop such a vast intelligence, how we process the information we receive from the world and how such a complex and wonderful phenomenon as the one we call language allows us to be as intelligent and sophisticated as we are", she says. Boroditsky is regarded as one of the key authors of the theory of linguistic relativity. The scientist has developed her career in world-class institutions such as the MIT or Standford University.  She is currently professor of cognitive science at University of California, San Diego, and is chief editor of Frontiers in Cultural Psychology. Utne Reader included her in its list of “25 Visionaries who are Changing Your World.” “A better grasp of language makes us more creative, approachable and fosters communication in the incredibly diverse world that surrounds us,” she says.

Der bewusste Einsatz von Sprache beschäftigt mich schon seit längerer Zeit. Passt meine Sprache zu dem Menschen, der ich sein möchte? Wie kann ich Sprache nutzen, um meine Realität positiv zu beeinflussen? Welche Möglichkeiten der gender-gerechten und inklusiven Sprache gibt es? Je mehr ich darüber nachdachte, desto mehr Fragen stellten sich mir. Umso dankbarer bin ich, dass ich diese gemeinsam mit Sprachwissenschaftlerin und Unternehmerin Dr. Simone Burel erkunden durfte. Sie hat mir nicht nur viele meiner Fragen beantwortet, sondern auch beigebracht: Sprache bewusst einsetzen darf kreativ sein und kann sogar Spaß machen :) Links aus dem Podcast: ► Simone auf LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dr-simone-burel ► Linguistische Unternehmensberatung: www.lub-mannheim.de ► Diversity Company: www.diversity-company.de ► Geschickt Gendern: www.geschicktgendern.de ► Bücher von Simone: www.thalia.de/autor/simone+burel-10519343 ► Zeit Akademie www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjQQuqR87JE ► TED Talk von Lera Boroditsky: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKK7wGAYP6k ► Aktuelle Kolumne: www.humanresourcesmanager.de/news/simone-burel-kolumne-mental-break-down-meltdown-am-main.html

In this episode we listen to Lera Boroditsky talk about language and how it shapes our way of thinking. Lera is a Cognitive scientist and she shares examples of language -- from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian. "The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is," Boroditsky says.To watch the full video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKK7wGAYP6k

There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world -- and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think? Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares examples of language -- from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian -- that suggest the answer is a resounding yes. "The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is," Boroditsky says.

How much water do you drink in a day? Not drinking enough water is a big problem. And while being a little dehydrated won’t kill you, dehydration does have a lot of significant and negative effects on your physical and mental wellness. This episode starts with a look at some surprising findings. http://www.shape.com/lifestyle/mind-and-body/5-signs-dehydration-besides-color-your-pee Language controls what you think and how you think it. Imagine how differently you would think if you didn’t have words like “left” or “right”? Or what if your language had no specific numbers? Well it turns out there are languages like that. And the differences in languages, including English, frame the way you think according to Lera Boroditsky who is a professor of cognitive science at the University of California San Diego. She has a fascinating TED talk on this subject which led me to her. Here is the link: https://www.ted.com/talks/lera_boroditsky_how_language_shapes_the_way_we_think You already know the importance of maintaining good eye contact with people when you speak with them.

She also has obsessive compulsive disorder and autism, but it’s her near-perfect memory that puts her in the rarest of rare groups, one that makes up just 0.000001 per cent of the world population.Given the cognitive nature of the episode, this seemed like a great idea as a follow up to last week’s podcast with cognitive scientist Dr. Lera Boroditsky, where we discussed the way languages shape thought, and how the mind works.Rebecca is a huge Harry Potter fan – something we both share, and were able to bond over. She was actually supposed to be going on a trip to the Harry Potter World at Universal Studios, but it was cancelled due to Covid. As you’ll hear, she knows the books off by heart and is able to finish any line from Harry Potter that I throw at her – you can find the video version of that clip on Twitter and Instagram on andrewgold_ok, while Rebecca is on r_sharrock on Twitter. The things she shows me are truly remarkable, and open up all sorts of questions about the human mind, memory, the subconscious and how it all links up. Also, her lovely mum Janet shows up halfway through to give some great insight about what it’s like living with somebody who remembers everything good and bad you do or say.A few warnings. One, I’m going to attempt my terrible, terrible accent. Rebecca’s not the first guest we’ve had from Queensland, Australia – I had the Coffin Confessor who reveals secrets at people’s funerals just a few episodes back. Another warning – something my girlfriend Julieta has picked up on and mocked me about – is that I’ve been mentioning a lot lately how many languages I speak. It comes up again here, so I’m going to make a concerted effort in future episodes…to keep doing it. At the end of the day, it took an extortionate amount of time and effort to learn to speak five languages – and it has very little practical use day to day – so I might as well gloat about it on this podcast. That’s what I told her anyway.I hope you enjoy this episode – if you haven’t already, make sure to subscribe – and please leave me some lovely new reviews on the Apple Podcast app – they’ve been drying up the last week or so – tell me where you’re listening to this, and any funny stories relating to the episode or your state of mind. I’ll read the latest ones out at the end. For now, I’m trying to impress Rebecca Sharrock with my best Australian accent.P.S. if you like this episode, you might also like my one with NME music journalist James McMahon, who discusses what it's like to live with crippling OCD.

Today, I’ve got Lera Boroditsky, Professor of Cognitive Science at UCSD on the show. She’s a really big deal in the languages and cognitive science worlds, having taught at MIT and Stanford. and you can find her Ted Talk here. Her teaching and her research focus on the way we form thought, the way we think, and the way language affects how we think. If any of you have seen the movie Arrival (trailer), you’ll know what I mean – because it’s a great example of how learning the alien language allows you to think different. I won’t spoil it, but the film and it’s original short story by Ted Chiang just blew my mind.Scientists in the real world haven’t encountered anything quite so sci-fi-like – but Dr. Boroditsky has nailed down certain characteristics in the 7,000 languages around the world that make its native speakers think in different ways. For example, she engrained herself with one community where they use cardinal points, so south, west, east and north, instead of left and right. It means they have an internal map of compass points – something we never thought humans had the ability to do. Other examples she’ll talk about include the way we see colour, the way we count and use maths, and the way gender is influenced by language. For example, the French bridge Le Pont is masculine, and they therefore tend to describe it as imposing and strong, while Germans Die Brücke is feminine, so it’s seen as elegant and fragile. While these gender stereotypes might be a little outdated, they give us an insight into the way words can have an effect on meaning.As many of you know, language is one of my biggest passions. I speak five, although I cheat by including English – the others are Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. And one of the things that has fascinated me is how I find myself taking on a new personality with each language. When I’m in a group of French people I become this low-voiced suave, philosophical guy, while in Argentine Spanish, I take on an Italian inflection, and I’m a bit more risqué, I’m singing my words, and that has to change your personality – not only in how you’re perceived by others, but in how you think while communicating in these other languages. I really feel like I become another person, and you can see me using these languages in my work in my showreel.So that’s why I’ve been absolutely fascinated by Dr. Boroditsky’s work, and by a book a recently read by Guy Deutscher, called Through the Language Glass. Dr. Boroditsky talks to me all about those things, and also touches on things like enforced language change – such as gender-neutral pronouns and other social-justice changes – and talks a little about psychopaths that she might just be one. I think she was joking, but there’s some truth in the notion that high-performing people might just be some form of sociopath. If you’re into that, check out my earlier episodes with M.E. Thomas the female Mormon psychopath, and Mary Turner Thomson, whose husband was a psychopath and a bigamist.Please make sure to share this podcast, follow me on andrewgold_ok on Twitter and Instagram – I could do with more followers!

Lebendige Organisationen brauchen lebendige Sprache. Top-down und Bottom-up sind tot. Wir können einladend und gestalterisch Sprache nutzen, veraltete Sprachmuster durch neue, starke, attraktive Begriffe ersetzen, schädliche Wortkreationen, wertschöpfungs-feindliche Sprache sein lassen. „Wir müssen eine Sprache entwickeln, die Neues willkommen heißt, die Innovatives willkommen heißt. Anstatt permanent zu versuchen, Komplexität zu reduzieren, müssen wir uns der Komplexitätserschließung zuwenden, damit wir wirken können.“ Wolf Lotter. Sprache hat Macht. Sprache macht Wirklichkeit. Diese Podcast-Episode ist ein Ausflug in die Welt der Sprachgestaltung. Mit Anregungen, wie wir die Sprache der autoritären Herrschaftsansprüche aus unseren Köpfen und Organisationen bringen, welche Sprache selbstbestimmtes Arbeiten, sinngekoppelte Teamarbeit, selbstgesteuerte, dezentrale Zellstrukturen und Beta-Organisationen mit verteilter Führung braucht. Wie wir Hierarchiebelästigungen und Infantilisierungen aus dem Sprachgebrauch verbannen und als Erwachsene demokratiestärkende Worte verschwenderisch nutzen können. So können wir das Leben, die Komplexität, diese werdende Geschichte wieder in unsere Sprache, in unsere Köpfe, in unsere Herzen bringen und somit auch in Unternehmen, in die Welt. Wir müssen lernen zu unterscheiden, die Vielfalt in der Sprache für die Vielfalt der Welt nutzen, verstehen, was Sprache bewirken und anrichten kann, Denkblockaden und Übervereinfachungen loswerden. Denn Sprache und Denken sind eng miteinander verbunden. Sie bedingen sich. Sie brauchen sich. Sie befruchten sich. Das hier ist eine Nachdenk-Einladung. Mit Spuren von Doris Tophinke, Ernst Weichselbaum, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Jean Piaget, Lera Boroditsky, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Niels Pfäging, Senta Trömel-Plötz, Rutger Bregmann, Silke Hermann, Simone-Lucie-Ernestine-Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir, Teresa Bücker, Vera Felicitas Birkenbihl.

What direction does time point in? None, really, although some people might subconsciously put the past on the left and the future on the right, or the past behind themselves and the future in front, or many other possible orientations. What feels natural to you depends in large degree on the native language you speak, and how it talks about time. This is a clue to a more general phenomenon, how language shapes the way we think. Lera Boroditsky is one of the world’s experts on this phenomenon. She uses how different languages construe time and space (as well as other things) to help tease out the way our brains make sense of the world.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Lera Boroditsky received her Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Stanford University. She is currently associate professor of cognitive science at UC San Diego. She serves as Editor in Chief of the journal Frontiers in Cultural Psychology. She has been named one of 25 Visionaries changing the world by the Utne Reader, and is also a Searle Scholar, a McDonnell scholar, recipient of an NSF Career award, and an APA Distinguished Scientist lecturer.Web siteUC San Diego web pageGoogle Scholar publicationsWikipediaTalk on How Language Shapes the Way We ThinkTwitter

The way we talk about gender is evolving, but what impact do words have? Kim Chakanetsa meets two women at the forefront of the study of language and asks them whether the language we speak can impact on the way we think. Lera Boroditsky is a cognitive scientist, who moved from her native Belarus to the USA at the age of 12. She has long been fascinated by how the mind works and studies how language shapes the way we think. She argues that words can impact our thinking about gender. Lera is currently Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego. Sophie Bailly is Professor of Language Sciences at the University of Lorraine in Nancy, France, a country where debates about language have long been polarised. Earlier this year, the Académie Française, the guardian of the French language, gave the go-ahead for female versions of certain job titles to be used, which represented an important step for French feminists. Produced by Jo Impey for the BBC World Service. (l) Sophie Bailly (credit: David Mayer) and (r) Lera Boroditsky (credit: Lera Boroditsky)

Linguistics gives us tools for analyzing language, and through careful testing, linguistics can also give us the tools to help make social issues make sense. Linguists Julie Sweetland, PhD, and Emilie L'Hote, PhD, are joined by cognitive scientist, Rose Hendricks, PhD, for a conversation about the power of metaphors and other elements of explanation. Later in the episode, Rose chats with University of California San Diego professor and preeminent cognitive scientist, Lera Boroditsky, for a deeper exploration of cognition and language.

There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world -- and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think? Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares examples of language -- from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian -- that suggest the answer is a resounding yes. "The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is," Boroditsky says. "Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to another episode of Conversation on Tap! In this week's episode, Joel and Jose are joined by John, who is Joel's neighbor, to discuss free speech. But before the conversation began, Joel and Jose talked about the delicious Quadruple Boulevard Brew. It was a delicious and sweet beer! For their FRED Talk, Joel talked about a TED Talk by Lera Boroditsky that he watched, which was about the power of words to shape our thoughts; Jose continued his talks on the pope by discussing the pagan temple that Christ used as a backdrop in Matthew 16:18. Once the conversation began, John, Joel, and Jose discussed the controversy circling Sarah Jeong and the New York Time's refusal to let her go. They also dived into the troubling trend on some college campuses to create "safe spaces" for students who are triggered by contradictory viewpoints. This then led to some discussion about the recent decision by some media platforms to delete InfoWars and Alex Jones' content: should we be doing that sort of thing? Is his content worth protecting? The conversation ended with a little discussion about how public education must really emphasize critical thinking if we are going to have a citizenry capable of seeing through the nonsense of some public figures. For the outro, Joel talked about Stephen Malkmus and his great music, while Jose got philosophical about Pinocchio. That's all for this week, but we hope that you continue the conversation on our Facebook page-- please share the episode with your friends and family. Thank you for listening to this week's episode and we look forward to seeing you next week!

Not drinking enough water is a big problem. And while being a little dehydrated won’t kill you, dehydration does have a lot of significant and negative effects on your physical and mental wellness. This episode starts with a look at some surprising findings. http://www.shape.com/lifestyle/mind-and-body/5-signs-dehydration-besides-color-your-peeLanguage controls what you think and how you think it. Imagine how differently you would think if you didn’t have words like “left” or “right”? Or what if your language had no specific numbers? Well it turns out there are languages like that. And the differences in languages, including English, frame the way you think according to Lera Boroditsky who is a professor of cognitive science at the University of California San Diego. She has a fascinating TED talk on this subject which led me to her.

Tzvi's burning question is who wrote the Torah and when? Meir-Simchah is miffed by his co-host's heresy. It ends well. Tzvi neither burns up Torah, nor burns at the stake (yet). Then Meir-Simchah confesses to burning over questions like how do languages work and evolve, how are flocking birds like computers but maybe more like us, and ultimately how does meaning emerge from structure? He also fires a volley in the war over gender and pronouns. Then, nearly doublebacking on our argument against scientism, we look at how nature is the good and (for you kabbalists out there) come to a new understanding of chesed.

Há aproximadamente 7 mil idiomas falados em todo o mundo, e todos eles têm diferentes sons, vocabulários e estruturas. Mas eles modelam a maneira como nós pensamos? A cientista cognitiva Lera Boroditsky compartilha exemplos de idiomas, de uma comunidade aborígena da Austrália, que usa pontos cardeais em vez das palavras "esquerda" e "direita", às diversas palavras para "azul" em russo, que sugere que a resposta seja um sonoro sim. "A beleza da diversidade linguística revela para nós a engenhosidade e a flexibilidade da mente humana", diz Lera. "A mente humana não inventou um universo cognitivo, mas 7 mil".

지구 상에는 7,000여 개의 언어가 사용되고 있으며 그 언어들은 모두 제각기 다른 소리, 단어, 문장 구조를 지니고 있습니다. 그러나 그것들이 인간의 사고 방식에 영향을 미칠까요? 인지 과학자 리라 보로딧츠키는 왼쪽, 오른쪽을 사용하는 대신 기본 방향 지시어를 사용하는 호주 원주민들의 언어와 파란색을 가리키는 다양한 단어를 가진 러시아어를 예로 들면서, 언어가 사고 방식을 결정한다는 이야기를 들려줍니다. "언어의 다양성이 가진 매력은 바로 인간의 정신이 얼마나 독창적이고 유연한지 보여준다는 데에 있으며, 인간의 정신이 하나가 아닌 7,000여 개의 인지적 우주를 만들었다."고 말합니다.

Existen cerca de 7000 idiomas hablados en todo el mundo, y todos ellos tienen diferentes sonidos, vocabulario y estructuras. Pero ¿pueden moldear nuestra forma de pensar? La científica cognitiva, Lera Boroditsky, comparte algunos ejemplos —desde una comunidad aborigen en Australia que emplea puntos cardinales en vez de derecha e izquierda, hasta las múltiples palabras que existen para llamar al azul en ruso— que sugieren que la respuesta es un rotundo sí. Según Boroditsky, lo bueno de la diversidad lingüística es que nos revela lo ingeniosa y flexible que es la mente humana; "La mente humana ha inventado no solo uno, sino 7000 universos cognitivos".

Weltweit werden etwa 7.000 Sprachen gesprochen, und alle besitzen individuelle Laute, Wörter und Strukturen. Doch bestimmen sie, wie wir denken? Kognitionswissenschaftlerin Lera Boroditsky zeigt Beispiele – von den australischen Aborigines, die Himmelsrichtungen anstelle von links und rechts verwenden, bis zu den zahlreichen Wörtern für "blau" im Russischen –, die verdeutlichen, dass die Antwort ein klares "Ja" ist. "Das Wunderbare an unser sprachlichen Vielfalt ist, dass sie zeigt, wie genial und flexibel der menschliche Geist ist", sagt Boroditsky. "Die Menschheit hat nicht nur ein kognitives Universum entwickelt, sondern 7.000."

Il y a environ 7 000 langues parlées à travers le monde et elles ont toutes des sons, des vocabulaires et des structures différents. Mais façonnent-elles notre manière de penser ? L'experte en sciences cognitives Lera Boroditsky partage des exemples de langues — d'une communauté aborigène en Australie qui utilise les points cardinaux au lieu de « gauche » et « droite » aux multiples mots pour « bleu » en russe — qui suggèrent que la réponse est, sans équivoque. « La beauté de la diversité linguistique est qu'elle révèle l'ingéniosité et la flexibilité de l'esprit humain, dit-elle. L'esprit humain a inventé, non pas un univers cognitif, mais 7 000. »

"Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000."

Learning new languages can help us understand other cultures and countries. Cognitive science professor Lera Boroditsky says the languages we speak can do more than that—they can shape how we see the world in profound ways.

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/whodunit-language-responsibility. Who is responsible for the broken vase in the foyer? How harshly should criminals be punished for their crimes? Did Justin Timberlake mean to disrobe Janet Jackson during her infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’? Cognitive scientists have recently discovered some surprising ways in which the language we use influences how we think about responsibility and agency. John and Ken are joined by Stanford psychologist Lera Boroditsky for a probing look at cross cultural variations in the language of responsibility.

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/mental-imagery. In the Early Modern period many philosophers took ideas to be mental images of the objects they stood for. During the 20th century, that notion fell into considerable disrepute. Yet recent cognitive science has revived the idea that at least some of our mental representations are highly imagistic in character, not just mental representations tied to vision and perception generally. Join John, Ken, and noted cognitive psychologist Lera Boroditsky of Stanford University to explore the imagistic nature of mental representations.

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/language-and-thought. You might think our thoughts simply determine what we say. But maybe the language we speak is what really determines the thoughts we can have. As Wittgenstein famously wrote, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." And Benjamin Lee Whorf held that the language you speak has a systematic influence on how you think about and interact with reality. John and Ken wrestle with the relationship between language and thought with Lera Boroditsky from Stanford University.

New research from the only NHS funded clinic to treat pathological gamblers is the first of its kind to study the psychological profile of UK gamblers. Claudia finds out about the results of their new study into the links between impulsivity and irrational beliefs, superstition and ritual and why some people may go on to become problem gamblers while others don't. Dr Luke Clark from Cambridge University explains. Gardening for Mental Health: Clinical psychologist, Dr Victoria Winson works with older people in Barking and Dagenham in London and has set up a gardening group called Young At Heart. Claudia reports from their allotment and finds out how it helps older men with mental health difficulties. The Power of Metaphor: Now new research from the University of Stanford has found that something as simple as describing crime as a "beast" or a "virus" can change the way we think about crime and the solutions we suggest to tackle it. But if simple words can make such a difference, what implications does this have for the social policy decisions that affect us all? Assistant Professor of Psychology, Lera Boroditsky talks to Claudia about the power of metaphor to change what we think.

Do the languages we speak shape the way we think? For example, how do we think about time? The word "time" is the most frequent noun in the English language. Time is ubiquitous yet ephemeral. It forms the very fabric of our experience, and yet it is unperceivable: we cannot see, touch, or smell time. How do our minds create this fundamental aspect of experience? Do patterns in language and culture influence how we think about time? Do languages merely express thoughts, or do the structures in languages (without our knowledge or consent) shape the very thoughts we wish to express? Can learning new ways to talk change how you think? Is there intrinsic value in human linguistic diversity? Join us as Stanford cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky re-invigorates this long standing debate with data from experiments done around the world, from China, to Indonesia, Israel, and Aboriginal Australia.
