Very interesting article with empirical experiments on the impact language has on our perceptions of the world. Something that I have felt, more then known when learning my third language as an adult. A new language gives you more then new words, it gives a new frame of reference in which to see the world.  Personally this text is very relevant at the moment, since we are thinking on raising our to-be-born in a three-language environment!
