Linguistics theories debunked (partially)

Can learning a new language really change the way you see the world?

Of course this is dependent on what you mean by perception - in my case it has always changed my perception - mainly because effective communication with people who are different from me is invariably enlightening. I couldn't comment on mental mechanics though. But a good short article.

Super Fun für Sprach-Nerds, Weird Fiction-Fans und alle, die gerne neue Sachen lernen: Diese Geschichte wird jeden Absatz 100 Jahre älter (& gruseliger), am Schluss sind wir um 1.000 sprachlich angelangt. Bis wann könnt Ihr verstehen, was da steht? Danach erklärt ein Sprachhistoriker die Veränderungen, die ihr da rückwärts mitgemacht habt.
