- W222701139 abstract "Judging from my own experience, it would be easy to get through high school and college in this country without knowing that there is such a thing as linguistics?I could have managed it if my father hadn't told me. There is a world-wide lack of understanding for the methods and results of linguistics, aside from a few enlight ened people, like my father. Yet linguistics can be instrumental in understanding ourselves and other subjects. Traditional approaches to many high-school subjects have stressed broad knowledge at the expense of clear understanding. Citizens of a democracy need adequate information of high quality (reliability, clarity of presentation), the leisure to assimilate it, and the freedom to act upon their informed opinions. Whatever contributes to our understanding of rhetoric, especially in the speech of politicians and advertisers, makes us better citizens. Linguistics, economics, and logic could help here. Like economics, linguistics is a study which could be profit ably begun in high school. Since both deal with arbitrary, conven tional systems, it does not require much experience of life in order to understand the basics of these subjects, and both are of obvious utility to all citizens: the communicative and economic structures of our society embrace everyone. And the type of conceptualization and reasoning learned in linguistics and eco nomics will come in handy for the possible later study of history, civics, and the various branches of philosophy. I would argue that both linguistics and economics have a better claim to belong to the compulsory part of the high-school curriculum than do some of the disciplines now enshrined there. Come utopia, the high schools will no doubt teach cultural anthropology; mean while, we should establish the more fundamental subjects, the obvious extensions of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Logic is another of these extensions which has been shamefully neglected in our high schools. There are important misconceptions about language which" @default.
