Language has historically stood as a barrier for some voters seeking to participate in the electoral process.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Language is a weapon of politicians, but language is a weapon in much of human affairs.
The greatest obstacle to international understanding is the barrier of language.
Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.
It was clear, for example, in 1988 that the political process had already become perilously remote from the electorate it was meant to represent.
The language that we use now impacts on the ability to vote, it impacts on the marketplace; instead of making things clear, it makes it more confusing. I think we need to stop using neutral language and speak in straighter terms. So when you agree to something, you actually get what you agreed to in the first place.
Language is political. That's why you and me, my Brother and Sister, that's why we supposed to choke our natural self into the weird, lying, barbarous, unreal, white speech and writing habits that the schools lay down like holy law.
Human language... prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand.
Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.
A language is a more ancient and inevitable thing than any state.
Languages are something of a mess. They evolve over centuries through an unplanned, democratic process that leaves them teeming with irregularities, quirks, and words like 'knight.'
