- Terministic_screens abstract "Terministic screens, a term in the theory and criticism of rhetoric, involves the acknowledgement of a language system that determines an individual's perception and symbolic action in the world. Kenneth Burke develops the terministic screen in his book of essays called Language As Symbolic Action in 1966. He defines the concept as “a screen composed of terms through which humans perceive the world, and that direct attention away from some interpretations and toward others.” Burke offers the metaphor to explain why people interpret messages differently, based on the construction of symbols, meanings, and, therefore, reality. Words convey a particular meaning, conjuring images and ideas that induce support toward beliefs or opinions. Receivers interpret the intended message through a metaphorical screen of their own vocabulary and perspective to the world. Certain terms may grab attention and lead to a particular conclusion. “Language reflects, selects, and deflects as a way of shaping the symbol systems that allow us to cope with the world." Every word chosen says something about the society we live in. The language we choose to use will be a representation of our reality, our world, our culture, and our beliefs, even without intention.".
