How Words Make Things Happen argues for the uncontrollability of the effects of language. The difference between poetry and rhetoric is not definite, as has commonly been taught, and speakers are unconsciously persuading themselves of something as often as poets are producing emotions in excess of what they intended. This book should be of interest to people who work closely with language and the teaching of communicative skills, whether in the field of
political journalism or the academic study of literature or philosophy.
