How to Do Things with Words
Author: John Langshaw Austin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019824553X
Category : Language and languages
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
This work sets out Austin's conclusions in the field to which he directed his main efforts for at least the last ten years of his life. Starting from an exhaustive examination of his already well-known distinction between performative utterances and statements, Austin here finally abandons that distinction, replacing it with a more general theory of 'illocutionary forces' of utterances which has important bearings on a wide variety of philosophicalproblems.

Every day is full of "what would you do?" moments. They can be as simple as times when you're considering whether to bother saying thank you to the taxi driver before getting out of the cab.

What Would You Do?—Doing the Right Thing Even When You Think No One's Watching is full of real-life stories and staged ones from the highly rated ABC News program.

Doing Things with Words in the First Christian Century
Author: Francis Gerald Downing
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 9781841271514
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Although its religious heritage was that of a variegated Judaism, the tiny early Christian movement was nevertheless much more complexly and richly linked with the Graeco-Roman world in which it came to birth than is usually allowed for. In particular, 'ordinary' people were capable of a sophisticated use of words that can be detected also in the New Testament writings. But the use of words in Graeco-Roman times was often very different from what we suppose, and this collection of studies attempts to identify some of the anachronisms that still pervade even the best of modern scholarship.

Blah Blah Blah
Author: Dan Roam
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101558709
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Ever been to so many meetings that you couldn't get your work done? Ever fallen asleep during a bulletpoint presentation? Ever watched the news and ended up knowing less? Welcome to the land of Blah Blah Blah. The Problem: We talk so much that we don't think very well. Powerful as words are, we fool ourselves when we think our words alone can detect, describe, and defuse the multifaceted problems of today. They can't-and that's bad, because words have become our default thinking tool. The Solution: This book offers a way out of blah-blah-blah. It's called "Vivid Thinking." In Dan Roam's first acclaimed book, The Back of the Napkin, he taught readers how to solve problems and sell ideas by drawing simple pictures. Now he proves that Vivid Thinking is even more powerful. This technique combines our verbal and visual minds so that we can think and learn more quickly, teach and inspire our colleagues, and enjoy and share ideas in a whole new way. The Destination: No more blah-blah-blah. Through Vivid Thinking, we can make the most complicated subjects suddenly crystal clear. Whether trying to understand a Harvard Business School class, or what went down in the Conan versus Leno battle for late-night TV, or what Einstein thought about relativity, Vivid Thinking provides a way to clarify anything. Through dozens of guided examples, Roam proves that anyone can apply this systematic approach, from leftbrain types who hate to draw to right-brainers who hate to write. This isn't just a book about improving communications, presentations, and ideation; it's about removing the blah-blah- blah from your life for good.

My Name is Mina
Author: David Almond
Publisher: Hodder Children's Books
ISBN: 1444910647
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
There's an empty notebook lying on the table in the moonlight. It's been there for an age. I keep on saying that I'll write a journal. So I'll start right here, right now. I open the book and write the very first words: My name is Mina and I love the night. Then what shall I write? I can't just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I'll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or a beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line? And so Mina writes and writes in her notebook, and here is her journal, Mina's life in Mina's own words: her stories and dreams, experiences and thoughts, her scribblings and nonsense, poems and songs. Her vivid account of her vivid life. In this stunning book, David Almond revisits Mina before she has met Michael, before she has met Skellig. Shortlisted for the 2012 Carnegie Medal.

Do not punish me for the words I write
Author: S.C Elaine
Publisher: Booktango
ISBN: 1468913506
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
This book is about me talking to God, or rather being mad at him, trying to figure out what is the point of him allowing me to suffer? Just things I think or are going through, even when I'm reading something and it rubs me the wrong way, I question it, I just write it out to God, and really tell him what I am thinking and feeling, he knows are thoughts already, so you might as well be upfront about it and get it all out, I feel he wants us to be upfront and honest about it, I think like this all the time, then I have the nerve to pray and say how much I Love him? And in the back of my mind, I'm thinking you were just talking bad about him now you all bowed down before him talking about how much you love him? Writing it out has helped me a lot in understanding him, or I should say him helping me to know who I am in him, all he wants is us to love/trust in him that's it nothing else, when we get to that level in him, when these kind of thoughts come up, we can just brush them away like swatting at a fly!
