Abstract

The author explores five ideas about words and power: 1. Whenever we use words, we are constructing social relationships and social identities for ourselves and for others. 2. Whenever we use words, we are constructing tools for thinking. 3. Whenever we use words, we are constructing histories and temporal contexts. 4. Whenever we use words, we are constructing relationships among social institutions. 5. What we have constructed with words, we can deconstruct and reconstruct.
