Language and Control by Roger Fowler,Bob Hodge,Gunther Kress,Tony Trew Pdf

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.

Language, Bureaucracy and Social Control explores the varying inter-relationships between language, forms of bureaucratic organisation and social control.

How the English Language Controls the World by Jack Tafoya Pdf

"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.

Linguistic Evidence by William M. O'Barr Pdf

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.

Offensive Language by Jim O’Driscoll Pdf

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.
