Assignment:

1. Some people disagree with Boroditsky's & Wierzbicka's argument (also known as linguistic relativity, or Sapir-Whorf hypothesis). They argue that languages are supposed to represent the objective world, and even if there are different linguistic expressions to describe different ideas, the meanings of these ideas are the same. Others argue that whereas language does influence cognition ("weak" version of linguistic relativity), it does not determine it (deterministic language is a part of the "strong" version of linguistic relativity). What do you think about these arguments? How deep do you think the language-mentality connection run? Provide at least one example to support your opinion.

2. What do you think is the relationship between the expression (behavior) and the experience (feeling) of emotion? People across cultures clearly vary in how they express their emotions. Does it mean that they have different emotional experiences? Explain your answer.
