The Linguistics of Loss

Today, we are investigating the Grammar of Grief. Have you ever tried to describe how you feel, only to find that the words feel 'clunky,' 'small,' or completely missing? We use language to 'Contain' our world, but when loss hits, the container often shatters.We’re looking at Ludwig Wittgenstein and the philosophy of Language Games. We’re asking: Is your grief limited by your vocabulary? We’re investigating the 'Invisible Words' and why 'Silence' is sometimes the most accurate sentence we can speak. If you’ve ever felt 'Misunderstood' by your own tongue, stay with us. We’re going to look at 'The Weight of the Words.'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-grief-lab--6886563/support.
