The book is a fascinating journey through the linguistic diversity of the world, from which you can learn how language reflects and shapes human thinking. Based on the latest linguistic research, the author shows the differences with which languages encode basic concepts such as time, space, color, smell.

The study of rare languages provides an opportunity to approach the issues of human cognition in a new way, to perceive the mutual influence of languages and cultures more broadly. Languages appear to us much more diverse than previously thought - this is evidenced by all the results of modern research methods.

Everett combines scientific accuracy and accessibility of presentation: complex concepts are illustrated by vivid examples from different languages of the world. The main value of the book is that it summarizes the latest discoveries in linguistics, many of which were made in the study of rare languages of small peoples. It presents a fresh look at fundamental questions about the nature of language and human cognition.

The book is addressed to linguists, anthropologists, psychologists, and anyone interested in the development of languages and cultures of the world.
