Talk Is Cheap : Sarcasm, Alienation, And The Evolution Of Language

  • Talk Is Cheap : Sarcasm, Alienation, And The Evolution Of Language

  • Attribution

    John Haiman

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1998

  • Description

    Putting aside questions of truth and falsehood, the old “talk is cheap” maxim carries as much weight as ever. Phrases such as “Yeah, right” and “I could care less” are so much a part of the way we speak–and the way we live–that we are more likely to notice when they are absent (for example, Forrest Gump). Talk is Cheap begins with this telling observation and proceeds to argue that such “unplain speaking” is fundamentally embedded in the way we now talk. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
