  • Imagination and Convention

    Distinguishing Grammar and Inference in Language

    by Ernie Lepore, Matthew Stone ...
    How do hearers manage to understand speakers? And how do speakers manage to shape hearers' understanding?

  • Inflammatory Language

    Its Linguistics and Philosophy

    by Una Stojnić, Ernie Lepore ...
    It's a platitude that words can harm. But some words are more prone to do so than others--they are pejorative by design.

Inflammatory Language is in large part about ... Read more

At the same time, each of us is a particular person in a particular place, each with his own "personal" view of the world, a view that we can ... Read more

  • Genre And The Invention Of The Writer

    Reconsidering the Place of Invention in Composition

    by Anis Bawarshi ...
    In a focused and compelling discussion, Anis Bawarshi looks to genre theory for what it can contribute to a refined understanding of invention.

He argues, in fact, that ... Read more
