Episode notes
Linguistic constraints don't necessarily constrain how we think, but they do shape it perhaps in some subtle ways. English is very flexible with the possibility for checking say a noun and turning into a verb or vice versa. So that's clearly an advantage for English. But of course, English also has the advantages that they have so many speakers and so many even second language learners of English. That allows many, many new words to come in all the time from all over the world.
