A thread on Reddit made me realise that people who are monolingual don't know how being bilingual affects your inner monologue. The answer? It switches back and forth. Makes me a bit skeptical of the Saphir-Worf hypothesis to be frank, because I can think about something and instantly speak of it in either language. Also, I often have an abstract idea in my head before I can remember the word for it. That's symbolic thinking without language, isn't it?
@thor Maybe it's more of a memetic thing: that languages may be capable of spreading certain ideas more quickly than others depending on specialized vocabulary.
@infernalturtle Maybe it is, but then it is no longer the Saphir-Worf hypothesis.
Basically, what I'm saying is that languages shape perceptions and, as a result, our thoughts.
