Bijzonder: in het Engels? Maar het mooie is: het lijkt alsof men adviseert geen mondkapjes te gebruiken, maar bij nader inzien toch: gebruik je handen erbij om te communiceren.

Sapir-Whorf bewijzen

Leonard Carmichael and his colleagues demonstrated that subjects had different systematic distortions in their recall of ambiguous line drawings depending upon which verbal label they were given (e.g. dumbbells or eyeglasses). Experiments on eyewitness testimony by Elizabeth Loftus and others showed that by varying the verb (e.g. crashed or hit) one can manipulate the estimated speed of the traveling car given by the subjects.

Slobin Thinking for Speaking

Sapir-Worf in nieuw jasje.
"becoming a competent speaker of a language requires learning certain language-specific modes of thinking, which he dubbed "thinking for speaking". "

which claims that the language we learn shapes the way we perceive reality and think about it.

Harzing en de invloed van engels

Cross-national research is plagued by many obstacles. This article focuses on one of these obstacles: the fact that research in more than one country usually involves respondents with different native languages. We investigated whether the language of the questionnaire influences response patterns. More specifically we tested whether responding in a common language (English) leads to a homogenization of responses across countries, hence obscuring national differences. We tested this hypothesis with a sample of 3419 undergraduate students in 24 countries. Half the students in each country received an English-language questionnaire, while the other half received the same questionnaire in their native language. Three types of questions were included in the questionnaire: questions about cultural norms and values, questions about characteristics of the ideal type of jobs that students would prefer after graduation, and questions about the reasons for choosing particular electives in their studies. Differences across countries were considerably smaller for nearly all questions when the English-language questionnaire was used. Consequences and recommendations for cross-national research and management are discussed.
