Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages Paperback - 2011

by Deutscher, Guy

  • Used

An acclaimed linguist asks if culture influences language--and vice versa? Can different languages lead their speakers to different thoughts? Challenging the consensus that the fundaments of language are universal, Deutscher argues that the answer to these questions is--yes.
