The whole concept of English popularity retains back to colonialism and nothing else.In Zimbabwe,colonisation has brought a high english culture above native cultures and it has done it in Africa and world wide.After establishing the english developmental principles ,the language of development became the language of the world .take it in a broader sense

I BELIEVE LANGUAGE DETERMINE OUR THOUGHTS IF IT TAKEN IN THE REALM OF CULTURE ,BELIEFS AND PRACTICES.CULTURE IS .A COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF OUR MINDS.THE WAY HOW WE SEE THINGS IS DETERMINED BY CULTURE.LANGUAGE BECAME A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND CARRIER OF CULTURE .SO LANGUAGE DETERMINISM SHOULD BE TAKEN IN A BROADER SENSE AND EMIC EYE

language is independent of thought. thought comes first and language is contrary to it. mere utterance of words without any specific pattern in mind is considered a foolish talk. A complete thought in mind adds life to the uttered words and helps the hearer in understanding everything with the depth and importance of the thought. Language is important for effective communication but it is completely ineffective without thought.
thank you.

I have heard of Koko in Nip/Tuck and remember hearing about her here and there in school. I think she does use language to communicate with her caretaker. Who’s to say faking means she doesn’t understand? Isn’t that what people do all the time?

I think we have perception and thought as two different thing. Babies can feel love of their mother but they cannot thing about it, or when we are in an overwhelming situation we react to our feeling without thinking about it. As soon as we are starting to think about it we use language, therefore there is no thought outside it.

My Favorite quote by Shakespeare is ” All the World’s a Stage….”Shakespeare has to be really watched live to be able to appreciate it. I was able to watch many of his plays at the Globe Theater in London just like a Groundling. It was a spectacular experience. My blog is http://www.sabrinaslondondiaries.blogspot.com
