- W90202461 abstract "Sometimes the flexibility of language leads one into curious contradictions. A simple example would be the change in usage of the word pathetic/' which once meant noble and full of sentiment/' as in Beethoven's Piano Sonata number 8, opus 13, Grande Sonate pa th?tique. Many words now have multiple meanings that can get into conflict. One of these is the word erature. It has three principal meanings: the sum of everything written in any field, a piece of writing with inherent aesthetic value, and in the colloquial sense any small pamphlet (for example advertising a toaster), typically very narrow in content and innocent of re deeming social value. If it is not a downright paradox, it is at least a curious juxtaposition that the accumulation of written material in any academic field is called the literature of the subject when scarcely one-hundredth of it has any lit erary value deriving from qualities of expression, form, and meaning. This is embarrassing for the humanistic disciplines, where they tend to write a lot. But it is a special problem in the sciences, where we write so much more, sometimes almost deliberately without regard for (or effect upon) the value of the language itself. It is not simply a matter of preferring that the communication of science should be prettified, or made artificially orotund and elegant. It is connected with content, and thereby further paradoxes. For instance, science professes to express the truth; yet it is considered a triumph if everything that is written in science, in cluding the simplest declaration of fact?the earth is round?is sooner or later contradicted?the earth is" @default.
