This essay considers some of the insight we have gathered about language, feminism, racism and power. In many respects, it celebrates the linguistic power of the many theories about how Black women navigate intersectionality where racism and sexism intermingle, suggesting that our analyses should always recognise that a lethal combination of factors are in play. Black women, in particular, actively insist on forms of language and discourse that both represent and create their world through words, expressions and verbal routines that are created within and outside of the African American speech community to confront injustice. One example involves the verb ‘play,’ which I argue often functions as a power statement or ‘powermove’ that demands respect while presenting a threat to the status quo. This use of ‘play’ is the opposite of inconsequential games of play or joking.

Probabilistic double hierarchy linguistic term set (PDHLTS) can not only express the complex linguistic information that the probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) cannot express, but also reflect the frequency or importance of linguistic term set (LTS)that cannot be reflected by the double hierarchy linguistic term set (DHLTS). It is an effective tool to deal with multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Therefore, in this paper, we propose several aggregation operators which can aggregate PDHLTS information and apply them to MAGDM problems. Firstly, the basic notion of PDHLTS is reviewed, and the distance formula and algorithm of PDHLTS are defined; then, extant weighted averaging (WA) operator, weighted geometric(WG) operator and power weighted averaging (PWA) operator, power weighted geometric(PWG) operator to PDHLTS, and establish probability double hierarchy linguistic weighted averaging (PDHLWA) operator, probability double hierarchy linguistic weighted geometric (PDHLWG) operator, probability double hierarchy linguistic power weighted averaging (PDHLPWA) operator, probability double hierarchy linguistic power weighted geometric (PDHLPWG) operator; in addition, The idempotency, boundedness and monotonicity of these aggregation operators are studied; what’s more, those aggregation operators are proposed to establish the enterprise credit self-evaluation model; Finally, compared with the available probabilistic double hierarchy linguistic MAGDM methods, the defined model is proved to be scientific and effective.

Q-rung orthopair uncertain linguistic sets (q-ROULSs) are a powerful tool for describing ambiguity and uncertainty of linguistic information. In this study, considering that in most multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, not only the quantitative evaluation information of decision makers but also the qualitative evaluation opinions should be considered. Therefore, we develop a novel MAGDM method with unknown attribute weights under the q-rung orthopair uncertain linguistic environments. We firstly propose the cross-entropy of q-ROULSs, which is utilized to solve the optimal attribute weights by a linear programming model. In order to effectively summarize the unclear language information of q-ROULSs, we extend the power Muirhead mean (PMM) operator to q-ROULSs, and propose a family of q-rung othpair uncertain linguistic power Muirhead mean (q-ROULPMM) operators. The advantage of the PMM operator is that it not only mitigates the adverse effects of too high or too low attribute values on the results, but also takes into account the interrelationships between attribute values. At the same time, some ideal properties and special cases of the q-ROULPMM operator are also studied. Further, a new method based on the proposed cross-entropy and aggregation operators is developed for solving the MAGDM problem under q-ROULSs. Finally, we carried out numerical experiments to prove the effectiveness and superiority of the method

The article considers a new method of analysis of the poetic text and defines the property of the language of poetry to influence the human consciousness, including on the basis of hypnotic language patterns and sensory predicates. The poetic neuro-linguistic power of poetic speech is also described. The theoretical and practical significance of neuro-linguistic program research is considered. In the content point of view, the classification of the program neuro-linguistic prisoners and read their poems goal. factors of influence of poetry on the listener from the neuro-linguistic point of view are revealed. The main differences between the neuro-linguistic direction and others are highlighted and translated into the property of influencing the content of communication in the process of communication between people. The interrelation of psychological actions, such as speech and thinking, memory, psycholinguistic and communicative features of poetic language, their influence on the psychology of communicants are considered. The scientific conclusions of scientists about the magical and neuro-linguistic power of poetic language are considered.

The human experience in times of crisis is a determinative indicator for the future wellbeing of generations. The lack of empathy and inactive emotional intelligence through all forms of linguistic conduct cause miscommunication and misconduct, which severely underestimates the intellectual potential of human beings. In a world of diversity, emotional intelligence and empathic linguistic power are crucial indicators of civilization and enlightenment. Given a richer understanding of the relationship between empathy and emotional intelligence from a sociolinguistic perspective, this study discusses the significance of including emotional intelligence and empathy in educational and intellectual programs. This study is the framework through which the empathic linguistic power within a society could be a determining power for crisis management and wellbeing at times of turmoil.

This chapter presents a raciolinguistic perspective, which theorizes the historical and contemporary co-naturalization of language and race. Rather than taking for granted existing categories for parsing and classifying race and language, the chapter explores how and why these categories have been co-naturalized and imagines their denaturalization as part of a broader structural project of contesting white supremacy. The chapter explores five key components of a raciolinguistic perspective: (1) historical and contemporary colonial co-naturalizations of race and language; (2) perceptions of racial and linguistic difference; (3) regimentations of racial and linguistic categories; (4) racial and linguistic intersections and assemblages; and (5) contestation of racial and linguistic power formations. These foci reflect an investment in developing a careful theorization of various forms of racial and linguistic inequality, on the one hand, and a commitment to the imagination and creation of more just societies on the other.

AbstractThe first principle of cognitive linguistics is to look for the origins of linguistic powers in robust mental operations not specific to language. For millennia, language science has assumed that human beings possess mental operations for unifying, combining, and merging patterns to create expressions, and that, conversely, they can analyze expressions they encounter to recognize patterns that were combined to produce them. The third section of this article reviews some of the literature concerned with these powers to combine patterns into expressions and to analyze expressions into patterns that were blended to create them. Any assumption about such a linguistic power takes out a loan on theory that must be cashed out with a non-language-specific explanation if the theory is to count as cognitive. One can stipulate to the existence of some unexplained power that is needed for linguistic performance, but that stipulation is insubstantial until it is grounded in a demonstrated non-language-specific operation. An assumption or stipulation about a linguistic power is cashed out when we locate and model the non-language-specific cognitive operations that make that linguistic power possible. The first section of this article presents the proposition that the non-language-specific mental operation that accounts for these linguistic powers is blending, otherwise known as conceptual integration. The second section provides a topical review of blending in specific communicative form-meaning pairs and their combination. Blending is the foundation of creativity in communication, or, more specifically, in the creation and combining of form-meaning pairs, also called “constructions.”

Linguistic pride is condition where someone or a group of society fell comfort in using a language that they choose and use to communicate with other in their groups. Discussing of linguistic pride, has close relation to the attitude of language. There are 3 positive characteristics of language attitude: Lingusitic pride, the awareness of language norm, and language loyalty. These three positive characteristics are crucial factors for the success in the efforts of language preservation in facing any external pressures to the society as the owner of language who actually has more dominant influence may describe their linguistic pride of the language. language attitude refers to any kind of behaviour to the language and how the language is behaved by the society. includes the attitude in planning and preserving the language. Language contact which includes in it; the switching code and mixing code may influence the linguistic pride of the society. When someone mostly use both of switching and mixing code in his/her communication, it may describe his/her to the language the used. Language dominance is another thing that may influence the linguistic pride. In multilingual society, the language dominance may occur when each group do not respect each other and do not preserve their language. Tp avoid the dominance of language especially in multilingual society, it is important to put and use the language of each group in proper situation and place in accordance with the agreement among each groups in the society. Language dominance has close relation to the linguistic power and linguistic force. And both of them can measured by some indicators, i.e: Demography. Spreadness, Economy, Ideology, and Culture, the factors of language attitude, Language contact, and Language dominance are the crucial factors that can describe the linguistic pride may also influence to the genociidng of language. All of those, of course is determined by the users of the language itself and their efforts to preserve their language.
