Chase Stuart. The Tyranny of Words

Methuen & Co. 1938. — 275 pages.A popular approach to semantics in which the author discussess how to clarify the meaning of words and achieve more exact communication.This is an introduction to the concept of Semantics. To date it's the most informative book that sets a foundation for communicating new information to another person or group. How to take in information and understand nonsense from utility. It clears the smoke of spellbinders and mystics, philosophers and economists where words hang in the abstract, with different meanings & interpretations to each person, and thus no referent to the natural world. And here communication fails us because the more abstract our speech, the less we understand what one really means.
