Examples of How DT Affects People on Personal and
Commercial Levels

• Personal
• Encounters with law enforcement
• Commercial
• Rock music

4
Derivational Thinking (DT)

• Linguistic Postulates
• number (use of singular/plural structures)
• sex-based gender (with the masculine form as the
  root and the feminine derived from the masculine)
• ranking comparative/absolute (e.g. better, best)
• e.g. Hardman (1996)

How May DT Manifest Itself in Law Enforcement
Encounters?

• Number
• Only one correct version of events (depending
  on who is speaking, of course)
• Sex-based gender
• Domestic violence/sexual battery cases
• Ranking
• Child custody issues the better parent

• Nickelback Never Again
• He's drunk again, Its time to fight She must
  have done something wrong tonight The living
  room becomes a boxing ring It's time to run when
  you see him Clenching his hands She's just a
  woman
• Never Again
• I hear her scream, From down the hall Amazing
  she can even talk at all She cries to me, Go
  back to bed I'm terrified that she'll wind up
  Dead in his hands,
• She's just a woman
• Never Again
• Been there before, but not like this Seen it
  before, but not like this Never before have I
  ever Seen it this bad She's just a woman Never
  Again
• Just tell the nurse, You slipped and fell It
  starts to sting as it starts to swell She looks
  at you, she wants the truth It's right out there
• In the waiting room With those hands Looking
  just as sweet as he can
• Never Again

• Seen it before, but not like this Been there
  before, but not like this Never before have I
  ever Seen it this bad She's just a woman Never
  Again
• Father's a name you haven't earned yet You're
  just a child with a temper Haven't you heard
  "Don't hit a lady"? Kickin' your ass would be a
  pleasure
• He's drunk again, it's time to fight Same old
  shit,
• Just on a different night She grabs the gun,
  she's had enough Tonight she'll find out how
  fucking Tough is this man Pulls the trigger
• Just as fast as she can
• Never Again
• Seen it before, but not like this Been there
  before, but not like this Never before have I
  ever Seen it this bad She's just a woman Never
  Again

DT and Never Again

• This song tells the story of a woman suffering
  domestic abuse from her male partner.
• Denial of Agency
• The singer here is an onlooker, and though he
  attests Havent you heard Dont hit a lady?
  Kicking your ass would be a pleasure, the woman
  in the song does not allow him to deny her the
  agency required to finish this for herself. She
  shoots the man while he is beating her.
• Double Standard of Content
• Shes just a woman

• Kid Rock (e.g. most anything !)
• Puddle of Mudd (e.g. Control)
• Velvet Revolver (e.g. Dirty Little Thing)
• Saliva (e.g. Survival of the Sickest)

• Crossfade Cold
• Looking back at me I seeThat I never really got
  it rightI never stopped to think of youI'm
  always wrapped up inThings I cannot winYou are
  the antidote that gets me bySomething
  strongLike a drug that gets me highWhat I
  really meant to sayIs I'm sorry for the way I
  amI never meant to be so cold to you

And I'm sorry about all the liesMaybe in a
different lightYou could see me stand on my own
againCause now i can seeYou were the antidote
that got me bySomething strong like a drug that
got me highI never meant to be so coldI never
really wanted you to seeThe screwed up side of
me that I keepLocked inside of me so deepIt
always seems to get to meI never really wanted
you to goSo many things you should have knownI
guess for me theres just no hopeI never meant
to be so cold
