Positivist Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I enjoyed this article--thanks for posting! In my master's degree I explored (among other things) the relationship between language and cognition, so the book (also a great read, "Don’t Sleep, There Are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle") was of great interest. It is amazing how our language forms our cognition and our ability to "believe" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
