In human evolution language comes into being for
making the other understand oneīs own position.
Later humans developed tought pattern called
ideologies.
Ideologies like the fascistīs or communistīs
thought patterns, even some religious sectarianism
turns grammar and words into a killing tool by
deviding humans into followers and enemys. Crucial
to ideologistīs abuse of grammar is turning itīs
communication function into a order message
system. The ideology dominated communication is a
one way communication and language is used to mark
the orders which are essential to the progress of
revolution, riot and mass killing justified by the
thought pattern of the "righteous few". This is
the point where ideologistīs abuse of words meets
with that of organized crime.
In nowadays language is not only the language of
words but the language of images.
There is no difference between words and images,
the grammar of language and the grammar of
photography or movie.
Words tend to be more abstract. Images seem to
tell us that "we get what we buy".
But this is not true. Images are as highly
manipulating as words. They follow grammar rules
as words do and the rules behind them have a great
impact on what we think, we see in them. And "the
grammar of images" allows an even deeper impact of
behind-the-image thought pattern on the viewerīs
mind.
