What language are you speaking?

Language

While reading the book "Beyond Words" by Marta Williams, I stumbled upon an amazing discovery. Language can be a kinesthetic communication. I thought that I was the only one that did not think in pictures, I always thought in words. I even dream in words. Sometimes, in other languages, ie. French , Spanish and Greek .

A Native American Linguist named Dan MoonHawk Alford studied native languages for many years. He became aware of dramatic differences between European languages and some native languages. European languages emphasize the noun and are primarily visual. Native languages emphasize the experience and are kinesthetic. So if you are talking about dancing, the English speaker would emphasize the dancer and the native speaker would talk about dancing. Imagine language where the focus is on the feeling of smooth, red hot, intense, breathless and not whether the dancer is male and is ballroom dancing.
This was a huge awareness for me. So some people speak with a visual emphasis and others with feelings. What implications are there for human communication?

What if two people are talking about how to describe a chair. One insists that what matters is the height of it and the other is only aware of the function. Does it fit with the desk and allow leg room? Is it comfortable? It is hard to reach agreement and argument ends the discussion. Perhaps it has to do with which part of the brain, left or right, is emphasized when languaging. Perhaps, it is genetic . What if we are born with kinesthetic language and then lose it as a part of maturation. What if our children are primarily kinesthetic in their language and our educational system emphasizes visual. What if we have to give up our innate language to fit into what society wants us to say?
