Abstract

This lesson challenges learners to consider whether we perceive reality as given, or whether we (our brain) create(s) ‘a’ reality (Zhou & Meng, 2020). It suggests that while we make sense of the world through interpreting our sense perceptions, a similar process is going on when we use language, i.e., we language our world.
