ABSTRACT
Noam Chomsky said Linguistic Relativity was all rubbish. People could think whatever they could conceptualize and beyond. Language was just a vessel to express it, but certainly didn’t negate it. Dr. Al is an associate professor at the Institute of Cognitive Science at CU-Boulder in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. In his research, he investigates the cognitive and neural mechanisms that allow humans to understand language. He explains that communicating with human language is a signature capacity of our species. Shaping our environment isn’t necessarily about being the best or the brightest; it’s about handling the situation around us in whatever manner circumstances demand. One of the main elements of crisis control is managing what happens next after the deal goes down. The event has already happened; what happens next tells the whole story. Communication scholars agree. The way people respond is much more important than what actually happened.
