Description:
Pictorial feature of LEXICAL GAP There are at least 250,000 words in the English language. However, to think that English – or any language – could hold enough expression to convey the entirety of the human experience is as arrogant of an assumption as it is naive. LEXICAL GAP presents a collection of 15 of the world’s most untranslatable words, describing the concepts of some of the most beautiful and surreal human emtions that the english language has no word for.
