Language and the Brain: the Mind-Bending Power of Words
Dr. Lera Boroditsky, Professor of Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, TED speaker, and one of the world’s leading language and cognition scientists, brings this idea to life through striking stories from her research, including communities whose languages are so attuned to direction that speakers greet one another with compass points instead of “hello.” These vivid examples reveal a powerful truth: language doesn’t just describe reality — it helps create it.
