About the event
Languages and Consciousness; Tools for Enhancing Your Writing and Lifestyle
The languages we grow up with reflect the culture we come from and the consciousness with which we experience the world around us; the way we speak and write reflects all of that.
Learn of examples from different cultures past and present, including Indigenous languages which typically have no word for time.
Other examples include Chinese as a picture-language and the A-to-Z hierarchical alphabet which derives from pictures, yet with modern English we have lost touch with what is actually being said, for example, Alphabet means "Ox House” or more accurately “Upside Down Ox House”.
Along with the bigger picture, tips for enhancing writing techniques with emotion, rhythm, and word/phrase choices.
