Language Variations Between Genders
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Among the myriad differences between men and women is the manner in which they speak. The variations that exist within gender language are sometimes quite conspicuous, while at other times remain quite subtle; however, one thing is certain: the formation of these variations originates early in childhood, with parents the primary factor behind these learned contrarieties. Indeed, to listen to a group of women talk when compared to that of a group of men, there are obvious differences in the choice of words, the inflection and often the meaning. The writer discusses the variations of language in relation to gender. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Language, Culture And The Global Media
[ send me this essay ]
A 25 page paper. Linguists have predicted that more than half, as many as 90 percent of the 6,000 languages being used today will be extinct by 2050. Languages are becoming extinct at far greater ratios than are mammals and birds. The effect is that there are also cultures that die when the language dies because language is one of the defining characteristics of a culture. This essay provides a look at global immigration patterns with data; a discussion of endangered languages; a discussion of language as a unifying element in culture as well as a barrier to communication; and the possibility of a universal language and what that might be. Interwoven are comments about the media and their roles. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

Language, Thought & Rhetoric
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page essay/research paper that discusses, first of all, the centrality of language to cognitive processes, arguing that language forms, specifically "proto-metaphors," incline the language user toward perceiving reality in pre-determined ways. Then, broadening the discussion to include rhetoric, the relationships between language, thought and rhetoric are examined, specifically exploring how rhetoric relates to both language and thought, and argues that historical concepts of rhetoric are too limiting because they focus, for the most part, only on the orator and do not give equal weight to how the auditor perceives the orator's message. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
