they think. For instance, how they express politeness or describe relationships.

Boroditsky suggests that people who speak multiple languages might switch their
thinking patterns depending on the language they are using. Each language brings its
own way of seeing the world.

also has the power to change how we think. The words we use shape our thoughts.

communication?
Boroditsky thinks it could make teaching languages easier, and it could help people
from different cultures understand each other better because they'd be aware of
how language shapes their thoughts.
