Growth and Regression through Language.
Bartel, Roland
English Journal, v72 n6 p44-46 Oct 1983
Finds confirmation of the humanizing influence of language in anthropological and linguistic studies, in creation myths, and in the lives of individuals such as Anne Frank and Helen Keller. Sees in George Orwell's "1984" and Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" examples of the dehumanization created by empty or deceptive language. (MM)
