Have you ever wondered whether the language you speak influences the way you see the world? Well, according to a number of studies in psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology and linguistic anthropology, it does. Languages don’t just allow us to communicate – they also shape our perception of what surrounds us, and ourselves.
Over half of the world’s population uses two or more languages in their day to day lives. Whether this is because of education, immigration or family, being bilingual or multilingual is increasingly common in our globalised society.
