Переклад - Шведська-Англійська - Hjärnans grammatik världsomspännande.

The human brain sorts what happens in the same order disregarding the native language.This completely contradicts earlier researches which have shown that the language directs the way we think.

The human brain sorts occurrences in the same order no matter what part of the earth we come from, or rather, no matter what language we speak.

It is American researchers who have concluded this by having 40 people as subjects to the experiment, who were speaking 4 different languages describing different courses of events - either by talking or by gesticulating.

When they answered orally, as expected, they all followed the grammar of their native language, but when they were gesticulating they all fell into the same grammatical pattern: subject, object,verb, as for example: person radio listens.

This seems to be the most logical order for our brain to describe what happens and the results challenge the existing thought that the language we speak directs the way we think.
