Part 4: Style Essays on Style George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language" http://revisedevilsdictionary.com/orwell.htm One of the most famous essays on writing style, this 1946 essay is as relevant
today as when it was written. Orwell identifies and condemns a variety of literary
sins including dying metaphors, pretentious diction, and meaningless words. Jennifer Griffith, "Eliminating Generic-Male Language: Political Statement
or Just Good Writing?" http://www2.rscc.cc.tn.us/~jordan_jj/OWL/Eliminating.html This brief essay from the Roane State Community College Writing Center argues
for non-gender-biased writing on the basis of clarity and improved writing style
rather than gender equality. Henry Churchyard, "Everybody Loves Their Jane Austen" http://www.crossmyt.com/hc/linghebr/austheir.html This amusing web-based essay demonstrates the passion which matters of style
can evoke. The author, a linguist, offers many examples from Jane Austen and
a few from other literary sources to prove that it is acceptable to use "they"/"them"/"their"
to refer to a singular antecedent with indefinite or generic meaning. |
