«Death Sentences: How Clichés, Weasel Words and Management-Speak Are Strangling Public Language» is Don Watson's essay, published by Gotham in hardback.
The essay denounces the deterioration of public language: clichés, corporate jargon, weasel words and political and media euphemisms. Watson explains how these empty formulas impoverish debate and anaesthetise thought, and argues for recovering clearer, more direct and sincere communication.
The work was originally published in Australia in 2003 and won the Australian Booksellers Association award. The 2005 edition includes bibliographic references.
For readers of essays on language, communication and cultural criticism; also for writing and journalism professionals.
