I Think Therefore IB

I am on the lookout for articles on language, since that is what we are currently studying (yes, you are on holiday, but I’m still going to update the blog! Your brain shouldn’t stop thinking intelligently just because you aren’t in school).

Here’s one opinion article from the NY Times, discussing a single word and its implications: Terrorists.

I read another article related to Rod Blagojevich and language the other day… but I can’t find it anymore! If I do, I will post it later. All I remember was that it was discussing where to draw the line between calling an act “criminal” and “immoral” – i.e. which word really best fit the whole Blago-scandal.

Anyhow, particularly those of you who wrote in your blog entries that language is just a way to communicate should read my language-related entries. Language is never neutral…
