  • Summary Of William Lutz's The World Of Doublespeak

    270 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his essay “The World of Doublespeak,” William Lutz define doublespeak as “a blanket term for language which makes the bad seem good, the negative appear positive, the unpleasant attractive, or at least tolerable” (2013). Lutz goes on to claim “It is language which avoids, shifts, or denies responsibility” (2013). He explains the purpose of doublespeak is to “mislead, distort, deceive, inflate” (2103). Based on many of his examples, such as wording an airplane as an airplane that has had “uncontrolled contact with the ground,” or referring to a city slum as the resident of the “fiscal underachievers,” I feel he may overstate his own definition of doublespeak. While, the play on words in these examples does attempt to deceive the read and

The symbolic power justifies some struggles and resistance ,according to Bourdieu social interaction is like a true market which imposes its laws on interest and balance of power on individuals whilst the linguistic exchanges. "The symbolic power is indeed this invisible power that can be exercised only with the complicity of those who do not want to know that it is used upon them or r even that they exercise it "( Langage, p.202). this paradox and this contradiction become logical when we think about the relationship between men and women ,and how women use very diplomatic language to convince their husbands or fathers or to get what they want from them, it also help us understand some implicit
