Exploitable fears

Wednesday, January 25, 2023 11:57

Verbal behavior is, of course, frequently punished. The community which has hitherto reinforced a response may change its practices. A different community is more likely to punish—possibly with all the manifestations of “zenoglottophobia.”

B. F. Skinner – Verbal Behavior

A word similar to Skinner’s zenoglottophobia is xenoglossophobia with a related meaning.

Foreign language anxiety, also known as xenoglossophobia, is the feeling of unease, worry, nervousness and apprehension experienced in learning or using a second or foreign language.

Skinner’s zenoglottophobia is a word he may have invented, but it has a familiar meaning – fear of language from another verbal community with an associated possibility of punishment.

Zenoglottophobia pretty well describes woke culture, cancel culture, internet censorship and the language games driving modern politics. Activists corrupting almost every debate by corrupting the language and promoting a kind of free speech phobia. It’s something we observe – many people are afraid of free speech and the associated possibility of punishment.

It seems to be one reason why mainstream political parties are so unwilling to tackle even the most deranged and divisive language games. They are attracted to politically exploitable fears – it’s what they do. There are no exploitable fears in free speech.
