Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language
In the article, Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language by
Newman P. Birk and Genevieve B. Birk talks about the principle of selection one
has in expressing such words and the facts that we observe that one has to
remind themselves about. According to Birk and Birk, the process of principle
selection is to obtain knowledge. However, the selection and slanting process
is getting the knowledge that one has and putting it into his or her own words.
There are three different sections in slanting, favorite slanting, balancing
slanting and finally, unfavorable slanting. All of these different sections are
used for emphasis in slanting. It gives the audience a different impression
even though the story and the facts are the same; it is just the way one
chooses their words. Lastly, slanting by using charged words makes different
impressions. Slanting charged words and language are similar in some ways
though with charged language it includes emotions behind it. Charge language
may cause confusion but Birk and Birk state that one should carry their lives
with charged language in order to communicate knowledge.
