Romance Languages

Saturday, June 18, 2011

Linguistic relativity is a concept which theorizes that the vocabulary of a language can shape the very way speakers think. For me however, the difference seems to go beyond that. To me, different languages seem to have 'personalities'. The way things are pronounced, the rhythm, the tone, and the intonations of a language all give it a unique character, and expressing something in one language can evoke certain feelings that can't be evoked in another.
