I have heard people telling me that a particular group of people behave in a very different way. This group of people never get to the point when they speak but can be extremely blunt in some circumstances. Another group of people are so organized that when they speak, they make sure that their sentence structure is correct. Sometimes, I really wonder if the language that we speak actually has has impact on how we think and express ourselves and also how we behave.
The Germans are extremely organized in their linguistics rules and they are also very organized in terms of their lifestyle. They plan and execute in a structured and precise manner. So is linguistics and human behaviour related in some ways?
The Chinese speak very fast and like to slur and eat up their words. In terms of behaviour, they work fast and hard but they also like to take advantages and the short cuts available.
The English like to use many words to express a simple idea. They love beautiful words such as those in poetry. In reality, they are the ones who would decorate their houses with art pieces and ornaments which look beautiful.
Are we seeing a pattern here?
Think about it.... :)
