29. Scrivere la lingua, riscrivere il cervello: invenzione della scrittura e script relativity
Update: 2025-07-16
Description
La scrittura non è solo un modo per rappresentare il linguaggio, ma è una tecnologia cognitiva che modifica il nostro cervello.
In questa puntata vediamo come i diversi sistemi di scrittura (alfabetici, sillabici, logografici, etc.) non solo riflettono strutture linguistiche, ma modellano anche il pensiero, la memoria e perfino la percezione dello spazio e del tempo.
Grazie a risultati sperimentali vediamo come leggere non sia un semplice atto meccanico, ma un’esperienza che riconfigura ciò che siamo.
