who often covers biology, health, technology, and physics.

She recently wrote about a study that focused on the words humans use to express pain

and the wild similarities between those exclamations around the world.

Alison, thanks for coming on to chat.

Hopefully it won't be too painful.

Ouch, that's all I have to say.

So why are linguists talking about pain?

might actually tell us something about our shared biology and the evolution of kind of language in

general. It's a pretty big topic. It's part of why I'm so interested to talk about it today.
