Expression, Thinking, and Cognition: Origins of Differences between the Russian and Chinese Languages by Ke Zhang, Vladimir N. Denisenko

“…Special attention is paid to different forms of thinking (rational and figurative) that underlie the differences in language structure between the two languages, as well as various cognitive processes (recognizing analogies and associations) that shape vertical and horizontal categorization, resulting in differences in thought patterns. As a result of the conducted study, the authors conclude that the form of thinking determines the form of language structure. …”
