As you're considering how to revise your Doublespeak paper, consider these questions:
What examples of doublespeak have you heard or read?
According to Lutz, what is the relationship between doublespeak and power?
Lutz writes that language is "a tool or a weapon." What do you think he means by that? How can you tell when language is being used as a tool or as a weapon?
Can you think of circumstances in which a listener might interpret language as doublespeak when it was not intended that way?
How might the concept of doublespeak relate to artistic expression? Can art be employed in the service of doublespeak? Can art be used as a means of exposing or resisting doublespeak?
