We spend our lives communicating. In
the past fifty years, we ve zoomed
through radically different forms of commu¬
nication, from typewriters to tablet comput¬
ers, text messages, and tweets. We generate
more and more words with each passing day.
Hiding in that deluge of language are amaz¬
ing insights into who we are, how we think,
and what we feel.
In The Secret Life of Pronouns, social psy¬
chologist and language expert James W.
Pennebaker uses his groundbreaking research
in computational linguistics—in essence, count¬
ing the frequency of words we use—to show
that our language carries secrets about our
feelings, our self-concept, and our social intel¬
ligence. Our most forgettable words, such as
pronouns and prepositions, can be the most
revealing: Their patterns are as distinctive as
fingerprints.
Using innovative analytic techniques,
Pennebaker x-rays everything from Craigslist
advertisements to the Federalist Papers-or
your own writing, in quizzes you can take
yourself—to yield unexpected insights. Who
would have predicted that the high school
senior who uses too many verbs in her admis¬
sions essay is likely to make lower grades in
college? Or that a world leader s use of pro¬
nouns can reliably presage whether he will
lead his country into war?
You ll learn why it s bad when politicians
use we instead of I, what Lady Gaga
and William Butler Yeats have in common,
and how Ebenezer Scrooge s syntax hints
at his self-deception and repressed emotion.
Barack
Obama,
Sylvia Plath, and King Lear
are among the figures who make cameo
appearances in this sprightly, surprising tour
of what our words are saying—whether we
mean them to or not.
