...Language is a good tool for expressing the speaker’s feelings. But it differs from another one in innumerable ways, just because of the ways people talk, it does not necessarily mean they think differently. The way you speak says a lot about you. Language can help mould the way we think, but just in its own ways. Therefore, even we spoke the same language, we might not think in the same way. Language is an important tool of communication. People have changed thoughts day by day base on most crucial is language. Language is used to communicate in life, work and education. For example, when adults say something, child can do follow exactly because they don’t know which is good or bad. So we must use languages shape thoughts of child follow true ways to become useful people when child were young. Language is an important part to create personalities. Moreover, every single world’s language is used for the same purpose; to exchange some information. The aim of using language is unchanged in each culture, however the situation in which it is used and in what way, is the main difference. People from far cultures very often encounter a kin of obstacles during the process of communication, however this is not caused by language that is used. The problem is in the way it is done. Each culture has different customs, beliefs and habits and these are the factors that differentiate one’s process of thinking. Language and thought are closely related.

Discuss the issue using examples, details, and your personal experie-nces of English and your native language. Answer: A Language is a special “tool” which helps humans communicate with each other and also, being unique in comparison with the other animals and species. Due to its specific properties, a language is the way humans can share their thoughts to each other. In other words, language is the door which leads to human’s soul and mind. Through thousands of years of existence, language has spread to every corner of the world with different sounds and forms even the phomenes, people in different areas use languages to describe and express their ideas differently. Due to this reason,a large number of psycologists agreed that “languages mould the way we think” and “if all mankind spoke the same language, we would think the same way”. I do not think that this is an entirely correct opinion. Language is the way humans communicate with each other and express their idea. It is controversial about how people think-by figures (image) or by concepts (words). It is clear that people brainstorm through imagination and ideas in their mind. Then they put them in a logical order and describe them via languages. Because humans express their thought via language so it is claimed that the way people think is related to languages.

...“LANGUAGES HELP MOULD THE WAY WE THINK.” (Sapir-Whorf’s Hypothesis) The assumption of Sapir-Whorf’s hypothesis that the structure of language is inherent the structure of mind, in our way of thinking is not only logical mendacious and inconsistent. First, if languages mould thinking, then people can think only what they can express in language by saying it. It means there was first language, and then thinking evolved. If this assumption was true, there must have been something before the existence of the language. There would be something before it, which could be used as incentive for expression. Humans always have some ideas or inner feelings that they want to communicate with their kin. Further, language is only one mode of expression among many others, like gestures, body postures, or emotions. These modes are only instrumental to an inner process in their mind, namely, thinking or feeling. Second, language is a limitation of human rational and discursive thought. Rational thinking is not limited to language, but it is limited by language. Indeed, thinking is a lot of things and thinking in words is just one. To different people and ages, language can limit their thought to a certain extent. For example, if your father told you that you were a thoughtful daughter. You might think that you are thoughtful or that you are not. However, do these techniques apply to all people equally? If this was said to you, you will probably understand the true meaning to the...

If we all spoke the same language, would we think in the same way? Discuss the issue using examples, details, and your personal experiences of English and your native language. Language, due to its specific properties, is one aspect that makes human beings unique in comparison to other animals and species. Philosophers and linguists’ standard conceive the language as basically a means by which speakers convey the content of their thoughts to others. In other words, language is as the window open human’s soul. However, language seems to vary across different cultures and with different people. Different languages use distinctive phonemes, which are the smallest units of sound, as well as describe and name ideas and concepts differently. Consequently, some cognitive psychologists believe that language may influence thought processes. Because of changing unpredictable of human’s thinking in different cultures, it is so difficult to define effects of a particular language on a particular thought pattern. So, the theory that: “If we all spoke the same language, would we think in the same way?” cannot happen. Language is the way of communication, while the human languages are a way of presenting the...

...Do languages help mould the way we think? Language, according to number of researches, is the main means of communication, and while people regard themselves as social beings, it is essential to cooperate properly in the society. It is general knowledge that every single culture has its own, characteristic for this particular society customs as well as language. The language of every society reflects its, individual features. Therefore, the way in which language is used and the entire context depends on the society, again. The question that arises is whether it is the lingo that changes our way of thinking or maybe our way of thinking changes the language we use? Every human being’s way of thinking and behaviour stems from the society one lives in. it all has its beginning in a family a person lives with. A child repeats sounds, words and observes certain patters of behaviour. All those elements become obvious for the child to be used in particular situations. The infant starts using different phrases in situations he or she noticed them. While observing their family members and other people, the child encounters different social situations and learns in what way one should react or behave. Another vital aspect to be mentioned is the fact that language is only a tool to communicate in the world we live in. Every single world’s language is used for the same purpose; to exchange some information. The aim of using language is unchanged in each culture, however...

...For a long time, the question that whether language might mould the way of human thought or not was considered at a scientific angle. through a lot of experiments and researches which was done by the professional experts came from many aspects such as : philosophy , psychology , anthropology , linguist... and a lot of essential information was collected from all over the world included: China, Greece, Aboriginal Australia, Russia... In the end, the experts has found out some reliable evidences to answer this ancient question is whether people who speak different languages do indeed think differently or not and that even fundamentally change how we see the world. First of all, the research of Mrs. Boroditsky figured out that the simple observation that languages differ from one another. For example: “Wilson read the book of Robert Allen”, in English, in order to understand and speak in a right way the speaker has to concentrate on the verb “read”, therefore, in this case the speakers must pronounce something like “red” to emphasize this action happened in the past. In Russian people would have to alter the verb to indicate tense and gender. So if the subject was Blair who did the reading, the verb would be used somehow different from the verb which had the subject was Louis. In Russian the speakers also have to include in the verb information about completion. If Louis read only part of the book, then the verb should be used will have a different form than if Louis had diligently...

...be capable of writing in English and so this course is intended to extend that skill to include the different types of written English essential for studying. In this unit, we will show you examples of both personal and formal writing and help you distinguish between them. A number of texts will be used as examples of the writing process, and you will be asked to identify the elements of grammar that indicate formal writing. In later units, we will study the processes of writing in more detail. All the later units will include opportunities to learn and practise at least one of the key grammatical elements identified here.

...An essay that explores the theoretical underpinning of a resource that relates to language development and its place in learning. In this essay I will be discussing the good old fashioned stick and how it can be used to support a child’s language development. I will be discussing the diversity of play through the stick and how this is supported by the curriculum and how it is also supported by theory. According to The National Toy Hall Of Fame, the stick may be the world’s oldest toy. Animals play with sticks; our dogs play fetch with them. Children have an endless source of make believe and fun with sticks. A child’s imagination can turn sticks into magic wands, fishing poles, swords, light sabres, majorette batons and ores for an imaginary boat and so on. Children cultivate their creativity and develop their imaginations when they pretend with sticks. Children build and walk with sticks, bat balls with them; they explore the outdoors as they search for the best one. Sticks promote free play, the freedom to invent and discover; they are the original building blocks for creative play. Playing with sticks encourages outside play which incorporates fresh air and exercise. Sticks are not only the oldest toys around they are simply the best. A stick can come in all shapes and sizes. They are not carefully made or presented like a manufactured resource. They are natural and rustic looking and that makes them appealing to children and wanting to engage with it. Like the old saying...
