Words Matter: The CDAVE Community Blog

Words matter, and so do inflections, timings, contexts, and far more. This blog is dedicated to uncovering the meanings within and surrounding human discourse.

Check out recent blog

Word-work is sublime… because it is generative; it makes meaning that secures our difference, our human difference – the way in which we are like no other life. We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.

~Toni Morrison in Nobel Lecture, December 7, 1993
