🧠 Language Shapes Thinking: Kuuk Thaayorre’s Unique Worldview | #LeraBoroditsky #TEDTalk
Показать описание
In this fascinating TED Talk, cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky explores how language influences the way we think, focusing on the Aboriginal Kuuk Thaayorre people of Australia.
Living in Pormpuraaw at the western edge of Cape York 🌍, the Kuuk Thaayorre language does not use terms like "left" and "right." Instead, it relies on cardinal directions—north, south, east, and west 🧭—for spatial orientation.
Whether they're describing where an object is or even saying hello 👋, the Kuuk Thaayorre people are always aware of their position in relation to the world around them.
This unique linguistic trait shapes how they perceive and navigate their environment. Boroditsky’s research offers a striking example of how language can shape our cognitive processes and worldview 🌏.
