Simple rebirth, difficult delivery
The rebirth of
Psycholinguistics

I
just published The rebirth of Psycholinguistics. There is no hope about people
understanding one another, and accepting their differences and multifarious
potentials if we do not speak of communication and cognition that can only
exist linguistically. And misunderstanding and bias are most frequent among
people who speak languages that are too far apart or that are too close. We
have been living in a dream for a long time: peace in the West and war waged
mostly by the west in countries in the rest of the world. Strong bias on
Muslims and Islam as the main culprits, as if the invasion of Afghanistan, the
Invasion of Iraq, and the invasion of Syria - all three have failed - were not
coming from the West? And then came Trump and his idea that commercial wars
were easy to win. And then came Biden who desperately needs some tension in the
world to cover up the US failure with the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA
precisely, and to recapture two or three seats in the Senate and a dozen in the
House of Representatives to be able to pass the legislation one single
Democratic Senator blocks, even with a simple abstention.
