As time goes by, language continues to evolve.
In this episode, we explore the question of evolving English, and the specific question of how we refer to people without a permanent and stable place to live, as this example highlights the politicisation of language.
- Language's purpose: communicate information between people
- Language changes over time, often for political reasons
- Referring to people without a permanent home
- Difference between "house" and "home"
- "Homeless" as the most commonly used term
- Push to replace "homeless" with "houseless" or "unhoused"
- Critics argue "homeless" implies streets are a legitimate home
- Question of whether it matters to homeless individuals
- Homelessness is a complex issue
