Unconventional wording, linguistic errors etc. in the voice communication of George West. Bush

George W. Bush speaking to a Joint Session of Congress, 2001

Bushisms are anarchistic statements, phrases, pronunciations, Freudian slips, malapropisms, as well as semantic or linguistic errors in the public speaking of the 43rd President of the U.s.a. George W. Bush.[1] [2] The term Bushism has become part of popular folklore and is the basis of a number of websites and published books. Information technology is oft used to caricature the erstwhile president. Common characteristics include malapropisms, the cosmos of neologisms, spoonerisms, stunt words and ungrammatical subject area–verb agreement.

Discussion [edit]

Bush's use of the English language linguistic communication in formal and public speeches has spawned several books that document the statements. A poem entitled "Make the Pie Higher", composed entirely of Bushisms, was compiled by cartoonist Richard Thompson.[three] [iv] Various public figures and humorists, such equally Jon Stewart of The Daily Bear witness and Garry Trudeau, creator of the comic strip Doonesbury, have popularized some more famous Bushisms.[ citation needed ]

Linguist Mark Liberman of Language Log has suggested that Bush is not unusually error-prone in his speech, maxim: "You can make any public figure sound like a boob, if yous record everything he says and set hundreds of hostile observers to combing the transcripts for disfluencies, malapropisms, word formation errors and examples of non-standard pronunciation or usage... Which of us could stand up to a similar level of linguistic scrutiny?".[5] About a decade afterwards George Westward. Bush said "misunderestimated" in a oral communication, Philip Hensher chosen the term one of his "well-nigh memorable additions to the linguistic communication, and an incidentally expressive 1: it may be that we rather needed a give-and-take for 'to underestimate by mistake'."[6]

Journalist and pundit Christopher Hitchens published an essay in The Nation titled "Why Dubya Can't Read", writing:

I used to have the job of tutoring a dyslexic child, and I know something about the symptoms. Then I kicked myself hard when I read the profile of Governor George W. Bush-league, by my friend and colleague Gail Sheehy, in this month'south Vanity Fair. All those jokes and cartoons and websites about his gaffes, bungles and malapropisms? Nosotros've been unknowingly teasing the afflicted. The poor guy is obviously dyslexic, and dyslexic to the signal of near-illiteracy. [..]
I know from my teaching experience that nature very often compensates the dyslexic with a higher IQ or some grant of intuitive intelligence. If this is true for Bush information technology hasn't yet become obvious.

— [7]

Stanford Graduate School lecturer and former Bush economical policy advisor Keith Hennessey has argued that the number of Bush-league's verbal gaffes is non unusual given the pregnant amount of time that he has spoken in public, and that Barack Obama'southward miscues are not equally scrutinized. In Hennessey'due south view, Bush "intentionally aimed his public paradigm at average Americans rather than at Cambridge or Upper East Side elites".[8]

Bush'due south statements were besides notorious for their power to state the reverse of what he intended, with notable examples including his remarks on the estate tax, "I'm not sure 80% of people become the death tax. I know this: 100% will get information technology if I'm the president."[ix]
