Great article.
〈Lost in Translation〉 (2010-07-23), by By Lera Boroditsky. From The
Wall Street Journal.
“New cognitive research suggests that language profoundly influences
the way people see the world; a different sense of blame in Japanese
and Spanishâ€

no surprise to lispers.
though, standard caution apply here... do take the findings in the
story lightly, as such non-scientific writing usually are full of
vague notions, misleading, and sometimes outright incorrect.
Also, for those of you dumb mono-USers... perhaps it's time to pick up
another lang. lol
and, time to learn lojban too!
