I'm responding to the questions asked in your last paragraph. I hope this is what you're asking........The 5 links to articles and papers offer background and some address the question directly. Thew 1st link addresses the use of mathematics versus language to explore concepts in science. its starts with examples from lectures by Niels Bohr.

Wow! Thanks! Very interesting!

I intended not to ask about language-per-se, although I'm very interested in that (and a long term adapt of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis).

I'm currently specifically interested in differences between languages, word-use and actual-meanings-attached (concepts for which i do not know the appropriate words).

So can I ask additionally, since from your name I surmise that you are a native English speaker, subbing for you as a native speaker, do you associate (economic) goods with (moral of ethical) good?

Many thanks. For both replies!

yes, a native english speaker born in the US among adults who spoke english and two other languages. Both languages composed thoughts into words and sentences very opposite of english……I grew up with words that meant more than one thing, with words from another language that may or may not relate to english and two ways to express thoughts. English has rules for sentence composition and at home I’d hear english spoken with a different composition. The humor at times made no sense to me. And often I was told there isn’t a way to express things like this in english. My grandmother, in the language she knew I didn’t know, would tell my mother stories I wasn’t supposed to know. I was used to the sound of the language and by the tone of voice I knew if it was good, bad or a private joke.…..RE “economic goods”…My immediate response, an item that was made or a resource for sale. The only example that I think relates to a moral good was the US government making the Covid vaccine free. But in this context I think of it as an public economic idea versus a moral one. — Other than that example I relate moral good or ethics to the choices I make in relation to others. For example; deciding to help you.———RE: right. I use that to express somethings is correct. But we have an expression, “right thinking” that implies you are thinking or expressing thoughts that are considered “right/correct” in a specific cultural context. That could be my family, my religion, my teachers of friends. As a teenager my friends would say I was thinking right while my parents thought my friends were leading me astray……..Today, I find that language is used as a social weapon. Depending on the motives of the speaker I no longer can depend on my version of what good or right is. And it takes much effort to decide……Complicating this, the US has a number of myths we use to describe who we are. We have one about good and bad nations. And another, based on a constitution, that insures the rights of everyone in the US. Its our ideas of a national “good”. In reality we’re quite human and capable of all kinds of good and bad regardless of the stories we tell ourselves about being good…..RE “words from different languages”. The people that live in the polar regions have 30+ words to describe snow and snowflakes. Before the internet I never knew any of them. Today we’re filling each others languages with new words, expressions and ways to think. The differences are less. But I don’t like it. It reminds me of an enlarged right-thinking. I want diversity. I want to encounter differences. I prefer mis-understanding or not be able to express a thought to a Dutch speaker to everyone understanding one another. An analogy, I live in the state of Pennsylvania. We have large abundance of trees and an equally large variety.. I like that better that the southern states filled with only pine trees (dennenboom ???)

Lee, hi! Sorry for the delay (called weekend). You raise a number of interesting points.

Personally I think that everyone who grew up with more than one language, will confirm what you experienced growing up. For me, it was Dutch, English, German and French and a little Spanish, which made that clear.

In social science, Benjamin Lee Whorf each came to the US from Germany and studied Hopi, it was also clear. For some reason, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis ("speakers is a different language experience the world differently"), became rather debated. Whereas everyone not growing up in a single language knows it to be true. Plus: denying the veracity of the hypothesis creates a paradox: when you arrive at a different evaluation, will you not create a different understanding by choosing the language you use to guide you differently?

Whorf is also the guy who did the spiel on 'snow', which was later debunked. But there are fascinating studies in color, separated in different languages differently. If I'm not mistaken, there are languages that do not know purple.

From your reply I conclude that 'goods' is exclusively or dominantly economic. Interesting that 'right rinking' seems to go into a similar direction as Dutch does

This was a very enlightening conversation and exchange. Many thanks, Lee.

Yes, dennenbomen. Isn't Pennsylvania also the state where they have (Pennsylvania) Dutch? Who aren't Dutch at all, but were Deutsch (German).

Cheers, Lee.

RE-Pennsylvania Dutch. Yes and originally German. Also, communities of Amish and Mennonite. The Amish were part of the original Pennsylvania Dutch settlers. The Mennonite origins are Swiss, from an Anabaptist group. One of the better things about our state is a near uniform respect we extend to these communities. In the US thats unusual. In comparison, the way we treated the Hopi nation is an example of our less-than-stellar ways. _______ Here’s an example from when I was young and bored. I told my mother I didn’t know what to do. She was annoyed. With great dismay, in a language I didn’t understand, told me (I learned this in a later translation) to go knock my head against a wall. —— I assumed that was what she meant. Years later she told us there was no translation - Her version was….not knowing what to do and/or being bored was as useful as knocking your head against a wall. It was what she heard from her mother and, in turn, what her mother too heard growing up. But each mother adapted the expression and told it differently. Like the children's game, “whisper-down-the-lane”.
