• A comment on Conversation: 'un'Imaginative Dictionary?

  Oct 26 2012: Hi Fritzie, thanks for the comment!
  A rich language should be able to express the different moods and emotions which may well be attributed to stemming from a single causal factor but by means of different words / phrases. For even a subtle difference should be critically expressed without any compromises because of lack of suitable words / phrases. If many ideas are being expressed via "same label" then certainly the basic necessity of distinguishing them by means of spoken or written language is missing; I cannot claim my thought process to be unique than my peers' or forefathers' if I am not able to help others understand it by means of language. Language evolves and Erez Lieberman Aiden & Jean-Baptiste Michel showed us one very evocative example of that.
  I did not say the lack of the word 'Imagination' means it is a poor language but if curiosity and imagination are the starting points in innovation then where do they fall in this landscape. Do they not innovate, find solutions to their everyday issues or adopt themselves to changes? Of course they do and nobody is helping them in figuring out how but the one difference is in perception, between someone like me and them.
