Paperback. Zustand: Good. Unspeak is language as a weapon. Every day, we are bombarded with those apparently simplewords or phrases that actually conceal darker meanings. 'Climate change' is less threatening than 'Global Warming', we say ethniccleansing when we mean mass murder. As we absorb and repeat Unspeak we are accepting the messages that politicians, businessmen and military agencies wish us to believe. . By repackaging the language we use to describe international affairs or domestic politics, Unspeak tries to make controversial issues unspeakable and, therefore, unquestionable. In this thought-provoking and important book, Steven Poole traces the globalizing wave of modern Unspeak from culture wars to the culture of war and reveals how everyday words are changing the way we think.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 304 pages. spine fadedWhat do the phrases pro-life, intelligent design, and the war on terror ha ve in common? Each of them is a name for something that smuggles in a highly cha rged political opinion. Words and phrases that function in this special way go b y many names. Some writers call them evaluative-descriptive terms. Others talk of terministic screens or discuss the way debates are framed. Author Steven Poole calls them Unspeak. Unspeak represents an attempt by politicians, interes t groups, and business corporations to say something without saying it, without getting into an argument and so having to justify itself. At the same time, it t ries to unspeak -- in the sense of erasing or silencing -- any possible opposing point of view by laying a claim right at the start to only one way of looking a t a problem. Recalling the vocabulary of George Orwell's 1984, as an Unspeak phr ase becomes a widely used term of public debate, it saturates the mind with one viewpoint while simultaneously makes an opposing view ever more difficult to enu nciate. In this fascinating book, Poole traces modern Unspeak and reveals how th e evolution of language changes the way we think.…
