Download or read book Language and Control written by Roger Fowler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1979. This book studies language variation as a part of social practice - how language expresses and helps regulate social relationships of all kinds. Different groups, classes, institutions and situations have their special modes of language and these varieties are not just stylistic reflections of social differences; speaking or writing in a certain manner entails articulating certain social meanings, however implicit. This book focuses on the repressive and falsifying side of linguistic practice but not without recognising the power of language to reveal and communicate. It analyses the language used in a variety of situations, including news reporting, interviews, rules and regulations, even such apparently innocuous language as the rhymes on greetings cards. It argues for a critical linguistics capable of exposing distortion and mystification in language, and introduces some basic tools for a do-it-yourself analysis of language, ideology and control.

Download or read book How the English Language Controls the World written by Jack Tafoya and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-10-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "CAN ONE BOOK CHANGE THE WORLD? The answer is a resounding 'Yes!' In his first book, Jack Tafoya unveiled How NUMBERS CONTROL OUR LIVES. This book goes a step further to challenge the two all-time best sellers in a way never seen before. Jack explains the covert connection between the bible - The Word of God, and the dictionary -God of The Words. And more importantly, how the English Language controls our civilization. This book explains how the English Language is the source of power behind religion, education, and the government, the ultimate tool of social control that hidden and powerful interests use to enslave us. It shows how the dictionary defines the way thoughts and concepts are formed using English as the language medium. It also reveals how the bible defines behaviorism, religious beliefs, and social mores, while serving as a foundation for government in the U.S., Canada, and Britain. This one-of-a-kind book offers you a very clever and provocative look at how the English Language is used to manipulate people's thoughts and how America has become the pawn to control the worlds masses. It lays out clearly how language shapes human thought (via the media) and how large bodies of human thought energy can shape events. It takes the reader deep into the mystery surrounding the origins of the English Language, the most ingenious and diabolical mind control tool ever devised by man. How could anything be more powerful, dictatorial, and persuasive than this? This book has the answers, painstakingly brought forth by its author over many years of deep research. It explores how separate languages were selectively merged together to form a powerful, covert tool. This synthesis became the 'vicarious', 'confusing', Universal English Language that controls us all.

Download or read book Offensive Language written by Jim O’Driscoll and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people take offence at things that are said? What is it exactly about an offending utterance which causes this negative reaction? How well motivated is the response to the offence? Offensive Language addresses these questions by applying an array of concepts from linguistic pragmatics and sociolinguistics to a wide range of examples, from TV to Twitter and from Mel Gibson to Donald Trump. Establishing a sharp distinction between potential offence and actual offence, Jim O'Driscoll then examines a series of case studies where offence has been caused, assessing the nature and degree of both the offence and the documented response to it. Through close linguistic analysis, this book explores the fine line between free speech and criminal activity, searching for a principled way to distinguish the merely embarrassing from the reprehensible and the censurable. In this way, a new approach to offensive language emerges, involving both how we study it and how it might be handled in public life.
Download or read book Linguistic Evidence written by William M. O'Barr and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the permission of a North Carolina court, more than 150 hours of courtroom speech were recorded for this study. These tapes provided a rich archive for a variety of different types of inquiry, including the ethnography of courtroom speech and social psychological experiments focused on effects of different modes of presenting information in courts of law. Four sets of linguistic variables and related experimental studies have constituted a major portion of the research: (1) "powerful" versus "powerless" speech; (2) hypercorrect versus formal speech; (3) narrative versus fragmented testimony, and (4) simultaneous speech by witnesses and lawyers. All four sets of studies focus on the central question of importance of form over content of testimony.

Download or read book Politics and the English Language written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Politics and the English Language, the second in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, ‘is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind’. In an age where the language used in politics is constantly under the microscope, Orwell’s Politics and the English Language is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Download or read book Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Migration Control written by Markus Rheindorf and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of an international crisis in migration policy – widely referred to as a ‘refugee crisis’ – this book brings together timely analyses of the manifold and yet specific ways in which migration affects globalized societies, set against the background of the rise of nationalist and populist movements. The voices of migrants and refugees are rarely heard in this context: usually, they are debated about, summarized and reported but their agency is denied. Each contribution to this volume adds an empirical perspective to our understanding of how language relates to migration in a specific national context. The chapters use innovative combinations of multimodal, qualitative and quantitative analyses to examine a broad range of genres and data related to the voices of migrants and reporting about migrants.
