The list of questions implied by this short paper is not much shorter than the paper itself. How much a language family defines the culture that is using it? For example, is disregard for privacy in Russia resulting from lack if corresponding noun in Russian language? Regardless to the cause/effect relationship (another question), the language can be used to observe a cultural phenomenon. At the same time, cultures that use languages from the same family can greatly vary – as Jewish and Arabic cultures do: quite a few questions, starting with language variety in ne family and up to specifics of Hebrew history: contemporary Hebrew, as artificially revived language, contains words specifically introduced for modern concepts. Keeping in mind political sensitivity of the subject authors deserve lot of appreciation for touching the subject and formulating it as a pure scientific problem definitely deserving a thorough study.
