Abstract

This paper is a study of how often and in what ways the words heart, mind, soul and spirit are used. They are very familiar words, so familiar that they have lost much of their original meanings. They are often used with great looseness and overload the sentence in the form of tautology or verbosity, burying the thought beneath their rubbish.
