All languages have the same semantic fields, because we live in the same environment and we are endowed with the same instruments of perception and cognition:

“Although language is not universal, languages nevertheless form part of a universal society in which, once some difficulties have been overcome, all people can communicate with and understand each other. And they can do so because in any language men always say the same things. Universality of the spirit was the response to the confusion of Babel: many languages, one substance” [Paz, 1992: 153].
