Language and concepts

 Language and concepts

Contexts create words, then words decide the concepts, gradually they can trigger a whole lot of things like culture, history, tradition, values etc.

As debates veer towards more nuanced and slightly receptive tenor from the other side I thought  if I could spice up the unending debates on how certain words carry a huge culture, history, values and how concepts make their way and so on.

All of these are exciting poetry of human evolution that we take for granted in our busy lives [ this taking for granted anything is a gross indifference to life-whereby we may be unaware of our own hidden potential talents] without relishing their nicety or nasty influence and impact overall.

Unless one is sure about what the connotation of the word to the majority, even if it were far removed from the actual denotation of the word [ in fact if we dive into etymology, often they are too far removed from the denotation as the carapace of connotations make it even unrecognizable] and then it migrated towards language and language learning etc. I was asked by my friend to share a few things on peculiarities of language, language learning which I had long back shared with him and a few on how to influence the thoughts etc.

Here are a few from the selection that may be interesting.
