 What is the essence of language? How does the transformation of the language we use influence our cognition and behavior? Language: Spectrum delves into the profound and nuanced effects of language embedded within the fabric of daily life and culture. Organized into chapters spanning from Departure to Arrival, the book invites readers on an intellectual journey to critically examine and reflect on the conceptual significance and multifaceted role of language. 


Book Cover



Prologue

Opening with a visual interpretation of Martin Heidegger’s expression, the introduction 
seamlessly guides readers to recognize that the book will explore how language shapes and transforms human thought and behavior throughout its narrative.







Chapters

Each chapter explores the connection between language and human cognition through distinct examples.

How do people in cultures without a specific word for "blue" perceive the color? How does the sense of direction differ in communities that navigate using precise latitude rather than relative terms like left and right?
