Our producer, Rebecca McInroy, spent a lot of time in Greece as an undergraduate studying and living there; she adores the country and the language. On one of her first trips there, a Greek man accused her of being from a country of “barbarians” because in the English language, there is only one word for love, whereas in Greek, there are at least eight words that express different kinds of love.
This prompted a question: what is the importance of having words to express our feelings? On this special Valentine’s Day edition of Two Guys on Your Head, Art Markman and Bob Duke explore the psychology of words.
