About :

We all live in the same world and have similar experiences. That’s why all languages ​​spoken on the planet have the same basic categories for expressing ideas and objects—reflecting this common human experience. This notion has been defended for years by many linguists, but for American linguist Caleb Everett, when we look more closely at languages, we discover that many basic concepts are not universal and that speakers of different languages ​​see and think about the world differently. In his book, based on many languages ​​he researched in the Brazilian Amazon, Everett shows that many cultures do not think in the same way about time, space, or numbers. Some languages ​​have many words to describe a concept like time. Others, like Tupi Kawahib, do not even have a definition of time. Perhaps few people are better equipped to think about this problem than Everett. Born in the United States, he had an unusual childhood in the 1980s, dividing his time between his home country, public schools in São Paulo and Porto Velho, and indigenous villages in the Amazonian interior of Rondônia. In this video, reporter Daniel Gallas explains this fascinating world of linguistics. Check it out. Text report: https://www.bbc.com/portuguese/articl... Did you like it?
