LET US LOOK TO OUR TOOLS.

This article focuses on tools used in speeches. All of us who are interested in speech must pay closer attention to our tools. We need to understand how words acquire meaning, the various reasons for the occurrence of misunderstanding and the ways in which language can be intentionally misused. One of the major difficulties posed by language is that of meaning. For while language can provide sudden insights of illuminating clarity, it also freely allows misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Not only must we be concerned with unintentional misunderstanding, but we must be alert to intentional abuse of language as well. Often it is employed by the speaker to reinforce and replenish for his own purposes already existing biases.
