Punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language: they tell us to slow down, notice this, take a detour, and stop.
Language always gives you away.
By men's words we know them.
Punctuation is biological. It is the physical indication of the body-rhythms which the reader is to acknowledge.
My interest is in how meaning is communicated via language, and I believe the shape, positioning, even the color of the language has an effect on meaning.
I like the sound of people's voices, and I think what a man says can very well tell what he's thinking, whether he's lying or not.
It's the periods and the commas that you have to forget about. The words never change, but the intonations change.
Working with language is a means by which we can identify the bullshit within ourselves (and others).
