Studies have shown that bilinguals change how they see the world depending on which language they are speaking.
As someone who speaks Portuguese and English, I wonder if my way of thinking changes depending on which language I'm using. I do, however, believe that I communicate with a whole different personality, but not a differet way of thinking.
and they correspondingly remembered who did it less well than English speakers did.
it's surprising that the way we describe an accident could affect what we remember about it.
but just because people talk differently does not necessarily mean they think differently.
How can we know if language changes our thinking or just reflects how we already think?
