Confusing discourse[electronic resource] /Karol Janicki ; with illustrations by Siri Fuglseth and Tine Erika Fuglseth. - Basingstoke, England ;Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - xiv, 232 p. :ill. ;23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

What are you talking about? : language and abstraction -- Learning new words : how we developmeaning -- Words are not what they refer to :the map is not the territory -- Words, words, words, and tables, cars and elephants : intensional and extensional orientation -- The good guys and the badguys : two-valued and multi-valued orientation -- The unfortunate word 'is' : 'is' of identity and 'is' of predication; e-prime -- Can you tell the difference? : non-verbal phenomena, descriptions, and inferences -- Can you imagine it? : the role of visualization and context in understanding discourse -- No bamboozlement, please : how to disclose others' equivocation and make your own discourse less confusingand easier to understand : a summary and some warnings.

Do you usually think you are being understood? Do you think you really understand others? Have you, as many have, become so accustomed to confusion that you don't recognize it except when it isextreme? This book identifies and addresses some of the sources of confusion in discourse and offers ways of diminishing it. Confusing Discourse is intended primarily for graduate students of language in linguistics, foreign languages, and in communication departments. However it may also be found useful to advanced undergraduates focusing on confusing discourse, understood as part of the phenomenon of discourse in general. This book may also be recommended to anyone trying to find out how language works andhow its use and abuse relates to palpable everyday life problems.
