Lane Greene of The Economist Johnson Blog, provides a mini lecture into how language influences thought.
He shows some psychological experiments to do with language that are worth a look.
Around halfway, he also challenges the notion that "Gen Y" is degrading the English Language, that in fact Jonathan Swift in 1712 said the same thing, that the English language is beyond repair and there should be an "Academie Anglaise". haha.
