Something interesting to me that goes generally unnoticed from day to day is the design of language and how words are formed.
First, words that sound like what they're supposed to mean shed an interesting light on how the design of a word makes it easier to convey meaning. For instance, the word "stomp" sounds like the noise made when putting your foot down hard on the ground.
the design of word association and meaning is also a very interesting topic. For instance, take Red Bull for example. The word "red" is a very intense word. The color red is often associated with aggression and action. In addition, bulls are aggressive, energetic creatures by nature. Thus, the name "Red Bull" for an energy drink is fitting. Someone who drinks energy drinks needs to be aggressive and focused in their studying.
