How can anyone think any other language than English language has the richest literary tradition?

i simply cannot believe that any writer anywhere in any language can match shakespeare. that’s peak human literature. second closest, my guess would be since ive only read him in translation and even then he’s magnificent, is aeschylus. after that probably dante and virgil. again tho i haven’t read them in original but even in translation they are incredible.

He didn’t have time to produce much, so either Marius or his little piece on the Renaissance.

Does anyone know of any philosophy that explores the greatness of the English language? I can only think of Deleuze's short essay "On the Superiority of Anglo-American Literature".

This is busy work for linguists. Their sample size was too small imo. It’s a cool idea but it’s easy to imagine that these studies are this era’s Sapir-Whorf

Sapir-Whorf is correct though. At least vis-a-vis semantic primes.

The English language is more conducive to creative expression; it's more rhizomatic, nomadic, smooth etc., to use Deleuzian terminology.

So you don't even believe in soft linguistic relativity? Kind retarded anon, ngl.
