German newspapers described how it “floated above the clouds with“elegance and lightnessand “reathtakingbeauty. In
14、France, papers praised the“immense “concrete giant.Was it mere coincidence that the Germans saw beauty where the French saw heft and power? Lera Borodisky thinks not.In a series of clever experiments guided by pointed questions, Boroditsky is amassing evidence that, yes, language shapes thought. The
15、 effect is powerful enough, she says, that “the private mental lives of speakers of different languages may differ dramatically, not only when they are thinking in order to speak, “but in all manner of cognitive tasks,including basic sensory perception.“Even a small fluke of grammarthe gender of nou
16、ns-can have an effect on how people think about things in the world, she says.As in that bridge, in German, the noun for bridge, Brucke, is feminine. In French, pont is masculine. German speakers saw prototypically female features; French speakers, masculine ones. Similarly, Germans describe keys (S
17、chlussel) with words such as hard, heavy, jagged, and metal, while to Spaniards keys (llaves) are golden, intricate, little, and lovely. Guess which language construes key as masculine and which as feminine? Grammatical gender also shapes how we construe abstractions. In 85 percent of artistic depic
18、tions of death and victory, for instance, the idea is represented by a man if the noun is masculine and a woman if it is feminine, says Boroditsky. Germans tend to paint death as male, and Russians tend to paint it as female.Language even shapes what we see. People have a better memory for colors if
19、 different shadeshave distinct namesnot English.light blue and dark blue, for instance, but Russians goluboy and-stinly. Skeptics of the language-shapes-thought claim have argued that thats a trivial finding, showing only that people remember what they saw in both a visual form and a verbal one, but
20、 not provin;-that they actually see the hues differently. In an ingenious experiment, however, Boroditsky and colleagues showed volunteers three color swatches and asked them which of the bottom two was the same as the top one. Native Russian speakers were faster than English speakers when the color
21、s had distinct names, suggesting that having a name for something allows you -to perceive it more sharply. Similarly, Korean uses one word for “in when one object is in another snugly, and a different one when an object is in something loosely. Sure enough, Korean adults are better than English spea
22、kers at distinguishing tight fit from loose fit.Science has only scratched the surface of how language affects thought. In Russian, verb formsindicate whether the action was pleted or not-as in “she ate and finished the pizza. In Turkish, verbs indicate whether the action was observed or merely rumo
23、red. Boroditsky would love to run an experiment testing whether native Russian speakers are better than others at noticing if an action is pleted, and if Turks have a heightened sensitivity to fact versus hearsay. Similarly, while English says “she broke the bowl even if it smashed accidentally, Spa
24、nish and Japanese describe the same event more like “the bowl broke itself.“When we show people video of the same event, says Boroditsky, “English speakers remember who was to blame even in an accident, but Spanish and Japanese speakers remember it less well than they do intentional actions. It rais
