Almost all research on the mind is in English
I really dislike the idea that people don&#x27;t perceive differences in things that they give the same name to.  Specifically, &quot;Having a certain linguistic category can make the difference between seeing something or missing it&quot; seems distinctly wrong to me.  It seems fair to say that caring about things leads to separate linguistic characteristics, but it doesn&#x27;t make sense to me to say that using the same word implies that you don&#x27;t distinguish things.<p>Easy example for me would be looking at an aquarium.  I&#x27;m likely to just say it contains a variety of fish.  Someone that cares and has studied fish could tell you the accepted names of each.  We would both be perceiving different types of fish, though.  Such that if you showed me a gold fish and a tiger fish, I&#x27;d like describe it as two fish.  But if you asked me if each were the same, I&#x27;d say no.<p>Same as if you showed me any of the ridiculously large number of blue crayons in a modern crayola pack.  They are all just blue to me.  Are they the same blue?  Obviously not.
