Why is so much writing so bad, and how can we make it better? Is the English language being corrupted by texting and social media? Do the kids today even care about good writing? Why should any of us care?
In The Sense of Style, the bestselling linguist and cognitive scientist Steven Pinker answers these questions and more. Rethinking the usage guide for the twenty-first century, Pinker doesn’t carp about the decline of language or recycle pet peeves from the rulebooks of a century ago. Instead, he applies insights from the sciences of language and mind to the challenge of crafting clear, coherent, and stylish prose.
In this short, cheerful, and eminently practical book, Pinker shows how writing depends on imagination, empathy, coherence, grammatical knowhow, and an ability to savor and reverse engineer the good prose of others. He replaces dogma about usage with reason and evidence, allowing writers and editors to apply the guidelines judiciously, rather than robotically, being mindful of what they are designed to accomplish.
Filled with examples of great and gruesome prose, Pinker shows us how the art of writing can be a form of pleasurable mastery and a fascinating intellectual topic in its own right.
Steven Pinker is the Harvard College Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. A two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and the winner of many awards for his research, teaching, and books, he has been named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World Today and Foreign Policy's 100 Global Thinkers.
「獨孤九劍的要旨在於一個「悟」字,當通曉劍意後,則無所施而不可。便是全部變化盡數忘記,也不相干。忘記得越乾淨徹底,越不受原來劍法的拘束。而九劍各式乃以此令使劍者領悟劍意,練到一定程度就是真正的無招,達到劍術最高的境界了!」
评分这写的是个啥啊

评分英文写作风格指南,Steven Pinker新作。前60%的内容不仅是风格指南,还从认知神经学的角度分析了写作风格好坏的心理机制;后40%的内容侧重于语法、词语和标点的约定俗成规则和运用。是本理性,有料,但也不乏格调和艺术的好书,举例诙谐令人发笑。
评分前两章的确很棒,后面就有点太碎了。没有预想的那么能把心理学的东西放进来。
一,专家们常常陷入两个思维误区。 1.「功能固着」 对事物功能的刻板印象,就是「功能固着」。 2.「知识的诅咒」——你掌握了一种知识,你就不能理解,那些没有掌握这种知识的人,他们是怎么想的。 二,古典风格——模仿了对话的姿态。 1.所谓模仿对话的姿态,是作者在写文章时...
评分草草读一遍,做些笔记,有时间还要重读。 Chapter 2 A Window onto the World The key to good style, far more than obeying any list of commandments, is to have a clear conception of the make-believe world in which you’re pretending to communication. ...
评分财新杂志的主编王烁说:“我用中文写作,但我用英文学习写作。” 是的,中文作家喜欢两件事:1,凭天赋和感觉:“文章本天成,妙手偶得之”;2,凭苦功夫:“读书破万卷,下笔如有神”。有天赋的人那么少,读破万卷书的人更加稀缺,可是每个人都要写作,应该怎么办?这个时候,...
评分古典风格的主导隐喻,在于读者的对话中,作者将读者的视线引向世界之中的某物。使写作这件不自然的事变成我们做起来最自然的两件事:说与看。我们和朋友交谈,过程都是轻松自然的。因为和朋友交谈是为了让他们理解我们,你的语言轻松有趣,言之有理,自然朋友会高兴和我们交谈...
