after struggling with my poor philosophical english to word questions...

language as primary definer of symbols conditions the abilty to form toughts?

I mean... skimos have 40 words for "snow" and i just cant tanslate/express the concepts associated with justice and freedom in any other language than my own... and english phylologes have always a good thesis theme on the subtleness the use of the spanish verbs "ser/estar" when both translate (loosing a lot of hues and implications) to "to be"
