    The aim of this book is to research the Ruthenian language fragments related to the conceptualisation and categorisation of domestic animals. An interdisciplinary framework of Cognitive Linguistic theories and methodologies were employed, including conceptual metaphor analysis, categorization, and association experiments.
    This publication reveals prototypical members of domestic animal categories in the contemporary world image in the Ruthenian language of Vojvodina which is reconstructed through the results of association experiments. Considering the levels of research that show a petrified image of the world, manifested at the level of nominations and phraseologisms, the shift of certain members of these categories was followed. In that sense, a horse, a cow and a dog changed their places in categories, which also shows a change in human needs from domestic animals from labor-related assistance and providers of food to people's best and most loyal friends.

  • The Tu Quoque Fallacy - Deflecting Criticism by Accusing the Accuser - cover

    The Tu Quoque Fallacy -...

    William Rands

    The Tu Quoque fallacy, often referred to as the "appeal to hypocrisy," is a form of argumentation where an individual deflects criticism by accusing the accuser of the same flaw or wrongdoing. Instead of addressing the substance of the criticism, the person making this fallacious argument focuses on the accuser’s behavior, thereby shifting the attention away from the original issue. This technique is often employed to avoid dealing with uncomfortable truths and to undermine the credibility of the person making the accusation. While the Tu Quoque fallacy may seem like a valid rebuttal in certain situations, it is inherently flawed because it does not address the merit of the argument but instead aims to discredit the opponent by pointing out their perceived hypocrisy. 
    The term "Tu Quoque" is derived from Latin, meaning "you too" or "you also." It is a logical misstep in which the argument shifts from the issue at hand to the behavior or actions of the accuser. For example, if person A criticizes person B for smoking, and person B responds by saying, "But you smoke too," this response deflects the criticism without actually addressing the harmful effects of smoking. By focusing on the accuser's actions, the fallacy diverts attention from the original point and diminishes the potential for meaningful discussion. 
    This fallacy is common in many aspects of modern discourse, particularly in political debates, social media discussions, and even in personal relationships. In public debates, individuals or groups may use the Tu Quoque fallacy to avoid engaging with difficult questions, redirecting the conversation toward the alleged hypocrisy of their opponents rather than addressing the real issues. In personal relationships, it may appear as a defensive reaction to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions or mistakes.
