Re: evolution of language
I find it depends on how much "linguistic expression" is needed. For example, let's say you need to give someone directions. If the place you are giving directions to is the closest bathroom or high school gymnasium, you wouldn't need as many words as if you were trying to give directions to the municipal courthouse or a cool outdoor concert. The more information needed, the more words required (at least, I've found it to be that way).Phyllis
