SKEPTICS AND BELIEVERS
Material type: FilmSubject(s): Summary: 2015 Language is not a passive medium of communication. In fact, it’s the active matrix through which we construct societies, and, within them, our own social lives and realities. It’s easy to view language as simply a system of symbols that describe experience. But a closer look reveals an astonishing truth: language—as we use it in our moment-to-moment living—fundamentally shapes our experience, our thinking, our perceptions, and the very social systems within which our lives unfold.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
