The Well Spoken Thesaurus, Heehler T., 2011.

Фрагмент из книги.
Words are like little gods. The pronoun “him” instead of “her,” if used often enough, can dissuade a girl from science or math. The words you use determine the density of gray matter in your brain. They affect your political leanings, influence how you see reality, determine your level of confidence and thus, define what it means to be you. That’s what words do.

Verb Displacement.
Minimalism, the art of simplifying literature to its most basic form, is actually quite complicated. You can’t just dumb down everything you write to a thirdgrade reading level and be done with it. If that’s all it took, then everybody would be able to write like Hemingway, which is not the case.

What makes Hemingway remarkable is his ability to make simplicity sophisticated, to give ordinary language a timeless and poetic feel. Consider this example from the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. Pay particular attention to the last sentence of this passage, which has been altered so as to be without the Hemingway aesthetic.
