How does language selection relate to framing?
Solution
Because language activates frames, new language is required for new frames. So due to this, thinking differently requires speaking differently. For example each word spoken can give someone a specific image. The reading uses elephant as an example, when someone says elephant you immediately get a mental picture of the animal. It also goes for negative words such as thief, if you want to say to someonethat you are not a thief, chances are they will “frame” or associate you with the image of a thief. Thereading suggests not to use their language when arguing with the other side because their language picks out a frame and it won’t be the frame you want.
