About this product

Product Information

In an era when communication has become increasingly diverse and complex, this classic work on semantics--now fully revised and updated--distills the relationship between language and those who use it. Renowned professor and former U.S. Senator S. I. Hayakawa discusses the role of language in human life, the many functions of language, and how language--sometimes without our knowing--shapes our thinking in this engaging and highly respected book. Provocative and erudite, it examines the relationship between language and racial and religious prejudice; the nature and dangers of advertising from a linguistic point of view; and, in an additional chapter called "The Empty Eye," the content, form, and hidden message of television, from situation comedies to news coverage to political advertising.

    "Language in Thought and Action" Warrants re-reading. Very helpful to understanding and being understood.

    I am not a semanticist or semiologist. I recommend Language In Thought and Action for anyone who wants an introduction to these disciplines and more broadly for people who want to improve their ability to say/write what they truly wish to convey. Hayakawa gets readers to appreciate the differences between our feelings about a thing, our thoughts about that thing, and the effect our words about that thing are likely to have on others. He is perhaps most useful in helping readers appreciate the consequential differences in our lives of relying on two state logic (a thing is a dog, or it is not a dog), or three state logic (a thing is a bird, or is not a bird, or we don't know if it is or is not a bird), and logical rules that allow of still more states of being. At heart, Hayakawa fosters ...

    A Unique look at the English Language

    The book gives a good understanding of the English language and perhaps its limitations as a world language.

    Good Read

    This book was recommended by one of my professors, and it's a very good read. The author really breaks down the function of human language, and relates it's effect on both the human brain and human behavior. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who plans to pursue a career that involves public speaking.
