Soft cover. Condition: Good. Stuart Chase- The Tyranny of Words (Harvest Books HB-26) 1967. The pioneering and still essential text on semantics, urging readers to improve human communication and understanding with precise, concrete language. In 1938, Stuart Chase revolutionized the study of semantics with his classic text, The Tyranny of Words. Decades later, this eminently useful analysis of the way we use words continues to resonate. A contemporary of the economist Thorstein Veblen and the author Upton Sinclair, Chase was a social theorist and writer who despised the imprecision of contemporary communication. Wide-ranging and erudite, this iconic volume was one of the first to condemn the overuse of abstract words and to exhort language users to employ words that make their ideas accurate, complete, and readily understood. [A] thoroughly scholarly study of the science of the meaning of words. Kirkus Reviews When thinking about words, I think about Stuart Chase s The Tyranny of Words. It is one of those books that never lose its message. CounterPunch. LIGHT COVER WEAR, SOME MARKS AND SPOTS, A FEW PENCIL BRACKETS.

FROM Ch. VIII: "Einstein not only turned the physicists upside down; he also revolutionized certain aspects of human communication. A shock went around the world comparable to that produced by Darwin's theory of evolution. In the long run, relativity may prove a more important factor in language than in physics. Its impact has caused thoughtful men everywhere to look to their words, to question the validity of their concepts. In the domain of physics, chemistry, biology, relativity has been responsible for an unprecedented crop of young geniuses, due to the sudden expansion of understanding which its concepts promote. To see the outside world primarily in terms of relations rather than in terms of absolute substances and properties seems to develop an intellectual keenness hitherto unknown." NO JACKET. Black buckram binding with bright gilt lettering on spine; top edge originally stained black, but dearly faded now; edges and endpapers lightly tanned; text lightly, but uniformly, age-toned; corners tips and very top of spine ends, very lightly rubbed. Primarily, strong sewn signatures, (though signatures stretched between pp. 118/119 and for a few pages subsequent--describes worse than it is, but there you have it); corners essentially sharp (micro-curls); NO previous owner names. Clean text. The way to read a Classic text in Semantics, more than 85 years old.
