troublesome language

the nature of language
-
meanings are in people, not words: the place to look for meaning in language isn't in the words themselves but rather in the way people make sense of them.
language is rule governed: phonological rules, semantic rules, pragmatic rules.
troublesome language
the language of misunderstandings: equivocal language, relative words, slang and Jargon, overly abstract language.
disruptive language: confusing facts and opinions, confusing facts and inferences, emotive language.
evasive language: euphemisms, equivocation.
gender and language
language similarities and differences by gender: content, reasons for communicating, conversational style, non gender variables.
understanding gender differences in language use: biological factors, social factors.
transcending gender boundaries: neither stereotypically male or female styles of speech meet all communication needs.
the power of language
language shapes attitudes: language shapes naming, credibility, status, sexism and racism.
language reflects attitudes: it reflects power, affiliation, attraction and interest, and responsibility.
