John McWhorter is on his game ⦠and I am no linguist ⦠but I donāt really see a ādiferenceā between language and culture. One begets the other, and the other begets another one.
In fact, Iāve witnessed myself, and heard from many polyglots, anecdotal accounts of languages having their own āway of thinkingā. Iāve even been alive long enough to witness the emergence of new words and word usage within many āculturesā.
Language and culture and some version of āworldviewā seem pretty intertwined to me. But also⦠Iām pretty sure this is not something that can be āproven wrongā.
