Talk Is Cheap: Sarcasm, Alienation, and the Evolution of Language
Haiman, John (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, Macalester College, Minnesota)
This study argues that "unplain speaking" is fundamentally embedded in the way we now talk. The author argues that "cheap talk" allows us to distance ourselves from a social role with which we are uncomfortable, while describing how what we are saying becomes separate from how we say it.
