Semantic Punctuation is a term borrowed from Watzlawick's "How Real is Real," one of the most valuable books in my library. When therapists (or artists) talk about "closure" they are talking about "semantic punctuation." The popular book, "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" starts with the premise that punctuation can in fact affect the semantics of a sentence. Taking the notion a step further, how we encode our experiences into sub-divisions will affect our responses to those experiences.
Perhaps the simplest example is also the most immediately valuable: Where we consider certain chains of events to be complete and self-contained and finished we are less likely to act in a manner intended to affect the outcome of those events. Casually this is expressed as, "You haven't lost until you give up."
