THE IMPACT OF LANGUAGES ON CRITICAL THINKING
Abstract
Til va tanqidiy fikrlash o'rtasidagi bog'liqlik axborotni qanday qayta ishlashimiz, qarorlar qabul qilishimiz va muammolarni hal qilishimizda muhim rol o'ynaydi. Til nafaqat muloqot vositasi sifatida xizmat qiladi, balki dunyoni qanday tushunishimiz va unga qanday javob berishimizga ham ta'sir qiladi. Maqola bu munosabatni o'rganadi, turli tillarning tuzilishi, lug'ati va madaniy konteksti tanqidiy fikrlashni qanday shakllantirishi haqida tushuncha beradi. Sapir-Whorf gipotezasi va tilning nisbiylik printsipi shuni taklif qiladi-ki, bizning aqliy jarayonlarimiz ma'lum darajada biz so'zlashadigan tilga ta'sir qiladi. Masalan, mavhum tushunchalar uchun boyroq lug'atlarga ega bo'lgan tillar, gapiruvchilarga chuqurroq tahlil va refleksiya bilan shug'ullanish imkonini beradi.Juda qiziqarli bo'lgan jihatlardan biri esa, ikki til va ko'p tilda gaplashishning aqliy foydalari. Bir nechta tillarni biladigan odamlar ko'proq mental moslashuvchanlikni namoyish etadilar, bu esa ularni turli nuqtai nazarlardan muammolarni ko'rib chiqishga imkon beradi. Tillar o'rtasida almashish qobiliyati ularning moslashuvchanligini oshiradi va ular murakkab masalalarni hal qilishda va ijodiy fikrlashda samaraliroq bo'lishadi. Bugungi kunda o'zaro bog'langan dunyoda, madaniy va til xilma-xilligi o'sib borayotganida, bu moslashuvchanlik ayniqsa qadrlidir.
