tool that facilitated and allowed people to attempt to convey multiple meanings through words, first oral and then written in some languages. Since its inception, language has been one of the most important tools used by humans to communicate with each other. Imagine what life would be like if we didn't have language as a tool to interact with each other. Furthermore, language is often considered an integral part of culture; and most human beings are well aware of the importance of language in society; However, is it possible to use language to provide transparency of thoughts and implication of intentions? Sometimes it seems like we are the ones ruining the way we speak, communicate and think. An appropriate example of this would be to consider doublespeak, a term first encountered in the early 1980s, more specifically in George Orwell's book “Nineteen Eighty-four”. In our context, doublespeak means duplicity of speech, where “it can be defined as deliberately ambiguous, deceptive, or evasive language” (Glissmeyer, 1). Orwell explains that language, “like any other tool, can be abused, used not to build but to destroy, not to communicate but to confuse, not to clarify but to obscure, not to lead but to mislead. Furthermore, language is a unique tool used not simply to communicate but to learn and even shape reality” (qtd. in Lutz 15). In other words, doublespeak involves a deviation of meaning and is often used to convey respect, to hide elements of negativity and to hide the “truth”. For starters, doublespeak is sometimes used to avoid communicating disrespectful statements to others, particularly through employing euphemisms. It is also known as a kind of double...... middle of paper......hey, pay to travel to Germia park. He argued that the municipality did not earn much from these pensioners paying for bus fare. At this point, Mustafa's reaction was obvious in trying to avoid the topic of discussion by continually mentioning how this issue had been raised as an issue for more than a year. However, we as humans are sometimes driven to tell white lies to be kind to others, which is somewhat ironic. Doublespeak is sometimes the easiest way out. Yes, telling the truth is the ideal and indeed concerns ethical means; however, we live in a dystopian world where ideals are nothing more than illusions. The goal of doublespeak is to hide the truth, to make evil seem noble. As Lutz writes: “Ultimately, doublespeak does not promote or extend thought but prevents or limits it” (56).
