The thought structure of language

You have wondered what the diagrams or colors in our minds determine the perception of time, past and future in our minds, or what is their basis, and the reason why our perception of the world is the difference in people and society. In general, we explain the reasons for these differences culturally. Have you ever thought that the main reason for this could be language rather than cultural differences?

In general, the hypothesis argues that language influences our thought structure, in fact, language constitutes our mind schema and this affects the way we perceive the world. For example, in a study investigating the effect of language on perception, two different languages ​​with grammatical gender were identified as objects.

The key is masculine in German, a word feminine in Spanish. The Germans preferred the hard, heavy, gear adjectives while the Spaniards preferred small, cute, bright and complex adjectives. The same key becomes meaningful when the use of the language changes.

If we go through another example; There are many words that express family ties, almost every person in the family has a separate word to address. but the English only uncle and aunt word is seen enough to explain the whole family ties. Just by looking at the words in this example, we can say that family ties are more important than English, right? Here is one of the foundations on which the hypothesis is based, even when we investigate the language structures, we can understand what the people who use that language give importance to.
