How language affects culture — thoughts on Spanish

<p>P&C drink and review a Spring IPA from Peak brewery in Portland Maine.</p> <p>Pigweed mentions a few things he likes about Spanish, like the fact that respect and decorum is built into the structure of the language.</p> <p>P&C would both prefer that language and cultural expectations would resolve some of the tensions in personal relations, like how to address elders, or your father-in-law.</p> <p>P&C discuss the idea that if a language has or doesn’t have a particular tense, does that say something about the way the native speakers think? Does the structure of a language limit the way people think about the world?</p> <p>The culture produces the language, but the language then becomes a vehicle for continuing the culture.</p>
