However, the experience of being exposed to an unknown foreign language is completely different from that of listening to our native language, or to one which bears structural similarities to languages we know. Listening to an unknown language and to a familiar one involves perception in both cases. systematically based on mathematically defined properties. Before turning to the sociology of perception, then, it is helpful to more fully define this common sense. It is also impossible to define a sharp boundary between language. It is a synthetic process where different physiological and psychological processes are involved. The title of this book is Experiencing Sensation and Perception and it was chosen.
