This revolutionary book goes beyond any recent book on language to dissect how language operates in our minds and how to harness its virtually limitless power.
As Dr. Marian explains, while you may well think you speak only one language, in fact your mind accommodates multiple codes of communication. Some people speak Spanish, some Mandarin. Some speak poetry, some are fluent in math. The human brain is built to use multiple languages, and using more languages opens doors to creativity, brain health, and cognitive control.
Every new language we speak shapes how we extract and interpret information. It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make, and the actions we take. Language is an invaluable tool for organizing, processing, and structuring information, and thereby unleashing radical advancement.
Learning a new language has broad lifetime consequences, and Dr. Marian reviews research showing that it:
· Enhances executive function—our ability to focus on the things that matter and ignore the things that don’t.
· Results in higher scores on creative-thinking tasks.
· Develops critical reasoning skills.
· Delays Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia by four to six years.
· Improves decisions made under emotional duress.
· Changes what we see, pay attention to, and recall.
A study of Chinese–English young adults in the United States found that bilinguals were more comfortable with English for sexual communication and that Chinese conveyed more intense emotions when expressing negative feelings. (查看原文)
The Foreign Language Effect suggests that a foreign language yields more utilitarian decisions when faced with moral dilemmas, such as whether to sacrifice one person to save five, likely due to the increased psychological distance and decreased emotionality of a foreign language. Use of a second language decreases adherence to deontological values focused on the costs of sacrifice that are more closely tied to emotion and increases accessibility of utilitarian values focused on the benefits of sacrifice that are more closely tied to reflection and deliberation. People are more likely to make decisions that are of greater social benefit when using their non-native language, even when those decisions cause them internal emotional distress.
Using a second language leads to more logical and ... (查看原文)

多语经验也可以使人们不那么容易受到语言操控。挪威的一项研究发现，双语者比单语者更善于察觉操纵性的语言。当出现故意出错的句子时，比如“去过伦敦的人比我多” （More people have been to London than I have ）和“完成学业的人比他多” （More men have finished school...

如果不是共读群，一定会弃的书。太像LR了，屡看屡困。

珍惜自己的时间，远离这种书。逻辑非常跳跃，论证非常浅薄，知识是东拼西凑的，三句话不离change in your brain。

写得太松散，作为启蒙读物算合格。对语言的定义甚至最后一章才出现，不是很理解。章节名和实际内容不太符合，经常跑偏或重复前一章节提到过的主题，但每次都不深入，很广泛地科普，但又不算一直切题，作为读者很难读完后建立起自己的体系。

太好看了！作为双语者的一些感受，比如说讲不同语言时感觉自己是不同的人格，在这里都能找到科学研究的证实，就好像在互联网上喊了一声：“家人们谁懂啊？”然后在这本书里得到了回应
