French term or phrase: regard
there is no many words to talk about the "regard" that I do not know which one to choose

I am not happy with : look, gaze... it cannot be : peek, glimpse...
Any ideas ?
Then there is : la vision in the same sentence!

Accepter les mots de l'autre, c'est une manière d'accepter l'autre. L'autre élément fondamental de l'écologie linguistique, c'est tout simplement la créativité interne des langues qui, en tant que regard sur le monde ne cesse d'évoluer avec la vision qu'on en a.

Thanks

Explanation:
Alternative to 'view' etc as we are talking about the internal creativity of languages
And I prefer the idea that languages express the world in a certain way rather than view /perceive it in a certain way
But maybe I'm just splitting hairs
