'Change is a rhetoric. Some of this is cheap or jargonistic: change processes, forces of change, fife-changing, changing hands, hearts, minds, spots, seas_ Some is more deliberate: the discourse of social change, policies of reform altering standards and conventions, climate change spoken of in terms of climate crisis—language used definitively to convey imperatives of action. But change phrasing is used (ironically) by conservative forces as regularly as those seeking something of revolution. With the uncertainties of global pandemic, growing awareness of ecological catastrophe and newly reimagined nationalisms, this is perhaps a realm of language ripe for creative attention.
