In Praise Of Everyday Words by Sarah Salway

In Praise Of Everyday Words | Sarah Salway

Forget Sticks and Stones, it’s words that are powerful. As a writer and poet, Sarah’s material is the individual word: what each one tells us about our history, and also what we lose when we let certain ones – conker, holly, turnip – get taken out of our dictionaries. Her TEDx talk is a love letter to words – to their meanings, as well as how they taste in our mouths and sound in our ears.
