✅   Does Your Language's Grammar Change How You Think?

Science

Understanding a simple-looking sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some sophisticated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly instantaneously based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain accommodates fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.
