From: "Frank Haber" 

There's lot's of politics and white-noise academic internecine warfare in
the field.  If you're really interested, there's SI Hayekawa, whom the
academics hate, for a readable introduction.  What was his
semi-best-seller? Language, Thought and Action?

Just stand on any street corner in Berserkeley, Greeenwich Village, Madison
or Cambridge and Yell,

Korszybsi!  Chomsky!  Hayekawa!


One of the three will get you a finger-in-the chest "discussion"
in mere seconds.
