We as people speak different languages in different parts of the world. The different languages which we speak are all unique in its own way some way or the other . This entry will contain more in depth information about various languages and also how learning new languages may influence cognition.
Every language is having a set of principles as well as patterns which help people follow a guideline while learning a particular language.Another important factor about languages is following the syntax. The syntax is a set of rules which organizes a sentence in a sequence.However, the syntax may vary for different languages . For example the syntax for the French language and syntax for the English language are different.Benjamin Worf believed that language made our thoughts shape in a certain manner he called it linguistic relativity. He spoke about how there were even differences in languages while describing a certain event. For example while describing a event in the English language you mention the name of the doer ("Donald made a mistake") rather then just saying mistakes were made. Whereas if you are speaking in a Spanish or Japanese language they prefer to not use the name of the doer while describing an incident or event.
In this case of the German word one may say that Language does have quite an effect on cognition . This is because some of the habits which we are acquiring through our language is irreversible as per Worf's theory. This means that your thinking pattern will remain the same , as when you learned the language at first. For instance, a speaker whose native language is Japanese will stick with the traditional ideas associated with the Japanese language. On the other hand a native speaker of the English language would stick with traditional ideas of the English Language.
A reasonable point which could be made is that language is leading us to a path of what we are paying attention to , and it is believed that it is attention which is actually playing a role in influencing Cognition and not language .Its crucial to understand that when it comes to attention there maybe certain criteria involved and this criteria may reduce the influence of language.This proves that , yes language has a pretty relevant impact on cognition but it is certainly not irreversible as Whorf''s Theory. Another important aspect to understand here is that it is your experience which is influencing your way of thinking , and your way of thinking depends on what you are paying attention to.

<span>"Who's Lady Evangeline?" asked Mrs. Fletcher.
"Well, it's this mind reader they got in the freak show," said Leota. "Was real good. Lady Evangeline is her name, and if I had another dollar I wouldn't do a thing but have my other palm read.She had what Mrs. Pike said was the 'sixth mind' but she had the worst manicure I ever saw on a living person."
Based on this excerpt from Welty's "The Petrified Man," what can the reader infer?
I believe the answer is </span><span>Mrs. Fletcher doesn't like palm reader</span>
"but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."
This is the line that conveys what you are asking. In other words, it talks about keeping your individuality even in a "crowd," or with others. But if you analyze it, he still does not encourage withdrawing from the crowd but being "in the midst" of society while maintaining your independence/ individuality.
