In Brief
People communicate using a multitude of languages that vary considerably in the information they convey.
Scholars have long wondered whether different languages might impart different cognitive abilities.
In recent years empirical evidence for this causal relation has emerged, indicating that one’s mother tongue does indeed mold the way one thinks about many aspects of the world, including space and time.
The latest findings also hint that language is part and parcel of many more aspects of thought than scientists had previously realized.
