We often assume that language is simply a tool for describing reality. First we see the world, and then we label it. But what if that assumption is backwards? What if the words we know actually shape what we are capable of seeing, feeling, and distinguishing?
Research in linguistics and psychology suggests that vocabulary does more than improve communication, it structures perception itself. From how we distinguish colors to how we understand our own emotions, the categories available in our language quietly filter and compress the overwhelming complexity of the world.
In this video, we explore how expanding your vocabulary does more than make you sound articulate. It may fundamentally expand the world you are able to experience.
