Episode Notes
William Faulkner famously observed: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” In language, you might say, it’s ever-present. But how we discuss that which occurred before this very moment can vary in nuance from Asia to Africa to the Americas. In other words, some languages have a complicated past.
