Sinopse

The tapestry of human existence is interwoven with the intricate threads of language, a medium through which we communicate, connect, and construct our understanding of the world. From the dawn of civilization, language has served as a bridge between minds, enabling us to share ideas, stories, and emotions that transcend the boundaries of time and space.

This book embarks on a captivating journey through the world of languages, exploring their beauty, mechanics, and profound impact on our lives. We will delve into the intricate structure of language, unraveling the mysteries of grammar, syntax, and semantics. We will witness the remarkable phenomenon of language acquisition, examining how infants effortlessly master their native tongue and how adults navigate the challenges of learning a new language.

Moreover, we will investigate the multifaceted relationship between language and communication, considering how we use language to convey meaning, negotiate social interactions, and bridge cultural divides. We will ponder the profound connection between language and thought, exploring the ways in which language shapes our perception of reality and influences our cognitive processes.

Furthermore, we will examine the dynamic interplay between language and society, uncovering the power structures embedded in language and the ways in which language both reflects and perpetuates social inequalities. We will traverse the vast landscape of language and literature, appreciating the power of words to transport us to different worlds, ignite our imaginations, and challenge our perspectives.

Finally, we will peer into the future of language, contemplating the impact of technology on our linguistic landscape and the implications of globalization for linguistic diversity. We will consider the ethical responsibilities that accompany the development of language technologies and the importance of preserving endangered languages.

Throughout this exploration, we will discover the profound beauty and complexity of language, gaining a deeper appreciation for its role in shaping our lives and our world.

  • The Correlation-Causation Fallacy - Assuming Correlation Implies Causation - cover

    The Correlation-Causation...

    The correlation-causation fallacy is a common error in reasoning where people mistakenly believe that because two events or variables are correlated, one must have caused the other. This fallacy is not only widespread but can have significant consequences in various aspects of life, including science, policy-making, and everyday decision-making. It stems from the human tendency to look for patterns and explanations, often leading us to draw conclusions from observed associations without carefully analyzing the underlying mechanisms at play. 
    At its core, the fallacy occurs when a correlation—meaning two variables move together in some way—is confused with a causal relationship, where one variable directly influences or causes changes in the other. Correlation does not imply causation, a principle that is fundamental to sound scientific reasoning and critical thinking. For example, if there is a correlation between the number of hours spent watching TV and the number of people eating unhealthy food, it would be erroneous to conclude that watching TV causes people to eat poorly. Other factors, such as time spent sitting idle or lifestyle choices, could be influencing both variables. The danger of assuming causation based on correlation is that it leads to misguided conclusions, decisions, and actions. 
    This fallacy can often be found in media reports, advertising, and even scientific studies. Headlines like "Studies show that eating chocolate improves memory!" or "Increased spending on education leads to higher student performance" may imply a direct causal relationship based on observed correlations, but they neglect to account for potential confounding variables or the possibility of coincidence. In more complex situations, the misinterpretation of correlations can lead to flawed public policies, ineffective interventions, and misplaced public fear or optimism.

    Speak Still confronts colonial silencing by asking out loud: why do non-native speakers of English feel estranged from the English language, despite having known it since childhood? Is it possible for us to own this silence? If so, how can we find our eloquence from our experience of speechlessness? How can we bring the foreign language home?
    Blending personal narrative and cultural criticism, Speak Still takes Tong's bilingual experience in Hong Kong and the UK as a point of departure and reflects on the meaning of language, selfhood, and belonging. Through poignant observations of everyday life as it is experienced between languages, Tong conceptualises a possibility to communicate and connect beyond words: by reclaiming silence as an interlocutor that interrupts cultural homogeneity and creates space for the unheard.
    Speak Still shows that this silence, indeed, speaks volumes.
