Language Nerds Do Earth

The principle of Linguistic Relativity is the idea that a language's structure influences thought patterns of individuals who speak it. In turn, language influences culture, and cultural changes result in linguistic changes over time. We can't live everywhere, but we can get snippets of this magic through travel -- hence the podcast that is everything linguistics/culture/travel! Come nerd out with Patrice and Rachel every week at Language Nerd Central!
