Deutscher's take that language influences our thought processes (or worldview, you might say), is further support that language learning must be world learning. And it is good motivation to learn more than one "world" so to speak.
Might the reverse of Deutscher's claim be just as true? That our worldview influences the development of our language? Maybe your comments will influence a future post of mine on this. What are your thoughts?
