[en] Marie Steffens explores how two opposites used in the same sentence utilize our thought processes to influence the way we conceptualize the world. Opposites linked together in one sentence can express, inter alia, the totality of a category (rich and poor means “all people”). By studying the mechanisms underlying the expression of a totality, we try to understand how opposites can manipulate us.
