J&G~~Rose!!!A Symbol~~ :)

Hi~~

^_^

Now I would like to talk about ROSE
Haha
Because a few days ago
John presented me a banquet of Roses

I love PINK~~~!!!!

When talk about ROSE

In our mind, come out with some words

ROMANTIC

LOVELY

VALENTINE

ROSE is just like a symbol for these words in between of couple

BUT

Is that really the range for the abstract meaning for the word ROSE so small???

For couples~They do not think much about the question~
Not because of they are stupid
BECAUSE~They are truely in LOVE
^_^

I learned Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis Theories last semester
I strongly agree to Sapir and Whorf idea about the relationship between human thoughts, languages and cultures

I deeply believe our thoughts, behaviors and cultures are determined by language/s

For example

In English

"Rice" uses in 
All structures of Rice

no matter it is cook or not

no matter where it plant

English uses adjectives to describe the Rice

In Malay
"Rice" exists in many forms 
Padi-The Rice in Field
Beras-The Rice which haven't cook

NASI-Cook Rice

So,I believe that language also shape the language users thought

It proves again 
In Malay language

Bunga Rose-Melambang kecantikan, kasih sayang dan keberanian (Frederico Mahora, 2009)

In English language
Rose is ancient symbol beauty and love (Wikipedia, 2011)


Unconsciously, our thought shape by the language that we use everyday
When we talk about ROSE
Automatically~LOVE~BEAUTY~


So,one question again!
How about the bilingual and multi-lingual people?
Are they having different perception than the mono-lingual people???
~Hehe~


Might be next time I could answer the question~~
See you in next post
~which about people and language~


Welcome your comments!!!


~J&G Forever~
