Review: Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages

Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages by Guy Deutscher

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



A disappointment. I had expected something else. Instead the book focused almost solely on how the name of the colours in different languages and how we group them together affects (or does it) how we see the world. Too much repetitions and boring stuff, but there were some interesting facts in there.

But was not as I had expected. Could have perhaps dug deeper instead of repeating tons of history that really didn't matter.

Meh.
