Abstract in German In diesem Kapitel beschäftigen wir uns mit vier Hindernissen, die einer produktiven Forschung über einen möglichen Einfluss der Sprache auf das Denken im Weg stehen. Zunächst ist da die Behauptung, es sei unmöglich, Sprache vom Denken zu trennen, die Frage des „Einflusses“ sei also nichtig. Als zweites gibt es das Argument, es sei unmöglich, Sprache von Kultur allgemein, insbesoIn this article, we discuss four obstacles that stand in the way for a productive investigation into the kind of influence that language may have on thinking. The first is that it is impossible to distinguish language from thought, so that the question of possible “influence” is mute. The second is that it is impossible to disentangle language from culture in general, and from social interaction i

En av EU:s grundläggande principer är den fria rörligheten för personer som även ska gälla för familjemedlemmar.

Harmonisering av medlemsstaternas nationella lagstiftningar i frågan är därför inte aktuellt då det medför en begränsFree movement of persons is one of the fundamental principles of the EU, which also applies to members of the family. The family law is governed nationally to preserve the national identity; therefore, it is outside of EU’s legislative competence. The harmonisation of the national legislation in question, therefore, is not appropriate as it implies a limitation on a state’s national identity. The

Lack of political interest and will to deal with human rights violations carried out under the civil- military dictatorship, has characterized the transition and post-transition in Uruguay.
