A Study In Semantics | The Tyranny Of Words (Stuart Chase) BOOK REVIEW
Manage episode 421130437 series 2936123
We must blah blah the blah in order to blah the blah from blah.
'The Tyranny Of Words' by Stuart Chase is his attempt at furthering the field of semantics to the general public. He takes us through the general theory, how language is used compared to cats or primitive people, areas of human conversation that contain more precise meaning and plenty of examples of unclear language. It's split into 19 chapters and worth noting he was writing this in a time of great confusion. Communism, capitalism, fascism were all hot topics being argued fiercely in the build up to the subsequent war.
Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)
