*Do you have any examples from your own experience of how
names can shape or restrict thought?

Yes, in theory, both our language and our thinking are continually restricted, because we cannot go to a bank or a place where there are public officials and express ourselves with them as with our friends, we automatically think and speak in a more formal way.

▪ Can you suggest cases where not having the appropriate words
did you think of something difficult? how did people get over
East?

When referring to difficult situations, in our life we have several that we have gone through, in a job interview, in an exhibition or responding to our teacher at school, the language we use must be in accordance with the questions that we are asked and although we do not they are always the best, our previous knowledge allows us to solve them.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

- What experiences have you had of type-token mismatches, where someone else’s understanding of a concept hasn’t aligned with your own?

This type-token happens between languages of different cultures, happened to me, when I was in Dallas, Texas, few years ago, there is a very strong and broad Mexican-american community, and they use words such as:Troca, which according to the Real academia Española de la lengua, coming from the verb Trocar, is a exchange of things, but for tex-mexicans is a noun: " truck", in Spanish, camion, furthermore for Peruvians is a brothel. As a Colombian in U.S.A I had found several type-token mismatches in Texas, due to the long centuries exchange of cultures between Mexico and U.S.A.

- Was this a difficulty in communicating concepts across different languages, or in the same language?

Mostly between languages, living in Texas, where the Mexican-Texan culture has been mixing for centuries.  Now, regarding this difficulty in my primary language which is Spanish, in Colombia I also have found those mismatches due to the regional dialects (Antioquia, Bogota, Colombian coast, etc) but since I have been permeated by the culture for long time those issues are easily resolved through the context of every specific situation.

- How did you resolve this? What changed, and for whom?

Resolving is learning, adapting and embodying the new word into my vocabulary, of course it did change my point of view of languages, getting a better understanding of how we as humans adapt and use words and concepts, this also means I do better comprehend why we can think different, but it is not necessarily wrong, it is just different.

- How is the ‘type-token relationship’ useful in helping us to communicate with each other?

Is very useful because we can adapt our ideas or feelings into words and then communicate successfully to the target subject. This type-token relationship is the backbone of a culture, a society which has common ideas, and their development is based on those common, agreed relationships of words and reality.
