A thrilling journey of intellectual
discovery that explores the profound
influence of culture on language and
language on mind
A nation s language, or so we are often told, reflects
its culture, psyche, and modes of thought. Some
languages don t have a future tense, so naturally
their speakers have no grasp of the future. The
Babylonians would have been hard-pressed to under¬
stand Crime and Punishment because their language
used the same word to describe both these con¬
cepts. German is a model of logical organization,
which is why the Germans have such orderly minds;
English is an adaptable, even promiscuous tongue;
and Italian—ah, Italian!
The simplistic and occasionally bigoted nature of
such cocktail-party chatter has largely discredited
the notion of any real connection between language
and culture, between our mother tongue and our
ways of thought. Linguistics has long taught that
any cultural differences among languages are only
superficial, and there is a widespread view that we
all fundamentally think in the same way regardless
of our mother tongue. But now, acclaimed linguist
Guy Deutscher
has dared to reopen the subject. Can
different languages lead their speakers to different
ideas? Is our native language a lens through which
we perceive the world? Could our experience of a
Chagall painting depend on whether the language we
speak has a word for blue ?
Challenging today s fashionable consensus,
Deutscher
argues that the answer to all these ques¬
tions is-yes. Taking us from Homer to Darwin, from
the corridors of Yale to the rivers of the Amazon,
from how to name the rainbow to why Russian
water—a she —becomes a he once you put a tea
bag into her, he demonstrates that language does
reflect culture in ways that are anything but trivial.
Audacious, delightful, and field-changing, Through
the Language Glass illuminates the most fascinating
and controversial aspects of language, culture, and
the human mind.
