Just Words
Is it “just words” when a lawyer cross-examines a rape victim in the hopes of getting her to admit an interest in her attacker? Is it “just words” when the Supreme Court hands down a decision or when business people draw up a contract? In tackling the question of how an abstract entity exerts concrete power, Just Words focuses on what has become the central issue in law and language research: what language reveals about the nature of legal power. John M. Conley, William M. O'Barr, and Robin Conley Riner show how the microdynamics of the legal process and the largest questions of justice can be fruitfully explored through the field of linguistics. Each chapter covers a language-based ...
Just Words
Are the words that a novelist uses adequate to his or her elusive subject&—the human condition? Are they pertinent, accurate, invariably fair, unflinchingly honest? Or do the novelist's words execute essentially formal maneuvers, engaging our interest through their patterns rather than their reach? And what about a possible third, synthesizing option? Robert W. Greene discovers that the two apparently divergent intentions in question (metalinguistic vs. moralistic) often paradoxically coexist in French fiction. Also, no doubt because it is more consistently self-conscious than that of any previous era, the fiction of twentieth-century France seems to illustrate this convergence with special brillance. From L'lmmoralist (1902) to L'Usage de la parole (1980) Greene explores combinations and permutations of moralistic analysis and metalinguistic commentary in a particular sequence of prose narrative. Along the way, he observes Gide, Proust, Malraux, Camus, Duras, and Sarraute, each in his or her own fashion, moving ceaselessly back and forth between soundings of the heart and diagnoses of the tongue.
Just Words
In an appearance on "The Dick Cavett Show" in 1980, the critic Mary McCarthy glibly remarked that every word author Lillian Hellman wrote was a lie, "including 'and' and 'the.'" Hellman immediately filed a libel suit, charging that McCarthy's comment was not a legitimate conversation on public issues but an attack on her reputation. This intriguing book offers a many-faceted examination of Hellman's infamous suit and explores what it tells us about tensions between privacy and self-expression, freedom and restraint in public language, and what can and cannot be said in public in America.
Only Words
MacKinnon contends that pornography, racial and sexual harassment, and racial hate speech are acts of intimidation, subordination, terrorism, and discrimination, and should be legally treated as such.
Just Words
We all know that speech can be harmful. But what are the harms and how exactly does the speech in question brings those harms about? Mary Kate McGowan identifies a previously overlooked mechanism by which speech constitutes, rather than merely causes, harm. She argues that speech constitutes harm when it enacts a norm that prescribes that harm. McGowan illustrates this theory by considering many categories of speech including sexist remarks, racist hate speech, pornography, verbal triggers for stereotype threat, micro-aggressions, political dog whistles, slam poetry, and even the hanging of posters. Just Words explores a variety of harms - such as oppression, subordination, discrimination, domination, harassment, and marginalization - and ways in which these harms can be remedied.
Just Words
Just Words explores the language used by the Bible's writers to describe and convey what it is that God has done for us in Christ. It helps the reader see the wonderful variety, rich texture, and clear doctrine with which God communicates His Good News. Through six metaphors, Preus interprets and applies the Gospel to virtually all of life's contexts: creation, commerce, legal, personal, sacrifice, and deliverance.

Just Words
I assure you, this book is more than a simple compilation of "just words"; the title is merely a modest reflection of its ever so humble author. On his behalf, I declare, there is an abundance of inspiration for change within these pages--to do better, be better, and to encourage the "better" in others, that it may be stirred up and shared with the world. Written to raise awareness regarding many troubling, yet routine facets of every day issues within the lives, hearts, minds, and communities of people everywhere, this book is the perfect prescription for its time, and will surely offer a healing for many types of individuals. There is something for everyone inside-- the broken-hearted, the glamorous, the used and abused, the hustlers, the under appreciated hard workers.
Wizzy’s Words
Wizzy’s Words is a book of 70 illustrated, modern nursery rhymes incorporating the oral vocabulary that has been shown to signal future success if developed before school entry. The set of rhymes provides a well-researched resource for parents, carers, family and educators to share with children from birth. The resource was developed in response to the needs of children in danger of being ‘left behind’ but has been designed to appeal to all children and will provide a launch pad for language work beyond the pre-reading stage. Designed to engage, empower and educate children, Wizzy's Words bridges the gap left in the market for pre-school books/resources that specifically target the learning of oral vocabulary. An important and - just as important - fun learning tool for children aged 0 - 5 years.
