Language enable us to do more than to speak differently, but also think differently. Language we discover reading in this book, isn’t limited to just verbal symbolism; one can also be fluent in math or music. Josh asks Marian about the limitations of language in conveying our thoughts, how memory and perception overlap, and how language can influence how we conceptualize time.
