The Book I chose

I chosed the book called "through the language Glass: Why the World looks different in other languages" by Guy Deutscher. I chosed it because the author talks about many types of languages and how those languages react to the world in their own point of view. Different people see the world from their personal view, due to the climate and place where they live. If they live in a cold climate, they would see their world asa different as someone living in a climate where it always humid. Different people see the world how they see it, and how they experience their lifes in environment around them. Language plays a role while describing something, like it would give a different descriptions about one particular thing, for example, color. In Russian, it would be more meanings than in English.
