Language, Semantics, & Other Tools for Communication - Ep 7

Language is a concept that almost everyone thinks they understand. Maybe, most people understand language. How often, however, do people take time to think about language, the words and phrases they use, and whether their concept of those words is the same as the conceptualization of someone else? How often do people take the time to understand where the words and the language they use everyday even come from? Boris and Andy will be discussing all of these ideas on this week's episode. We will be formatting our conversation around three questions. What is language? How is it used? How do we think about language?

 - The movie is 'The Professor and the Madman' with Mel Gibson and Sean Penn, which is based on the Simon Winchester book of the same name.

Welcome to the Make Art Not Friends podcast. Join Boris and Andy for a discussion about art and just what art is. Please enjoy, and share if you would like. We are looking forward to posting a new episode every Sunday. Check out our temporary website, thanks to our friends at the More Light! Journal:

Art. What is it? Why does man make drawings, paintings, sculptures, etc.? And once made, what do the rest of the people do with it? How does man interact with these artifacts? What is the point of art at all?

We hope you will join us on our quest for discovery. Although we will set out to determine what art is and how to create it, we may just make a friend or two along the way. Or, failing that, at least a compatriot in the craft of creation.
