In her fascinating presentation, Dr. Lera Borditsky talks about how the language(s) we speak shape(s) our thinking patterns, the way we view the world, remember things and identify ourselves. The CLAS annotation activity was rich with discussion and thought-provoking questions, and I hope my contributions added some value to the collective learning experience this week.
Olga, I loved how you used the concept map to connect the ideas of the presentation. I also enjoyed the presenter and the discussions we had on the video. So many perspectives, insights, and resources that left me with more questions about how language is meshed with values, culture, and thought.
