A record of circumlocution, through the lens of struggling to find the word «bridge». in Turkish. This video examines how the English translation retains the grammatical structure of the original language, to provide insight into the cognitive processes involved in language retrieval. It was an attempt to capture the problem when precise vocabulary is not accessible & the nature of bilingual thinking. History of the different spellings for the word [bridge], is carrying Turkic pronunciation for the Latin [c] that was adopted for [j]-like sounds. There's a need to document that fork.
