- W52802387 abstract "Whenever a teacher sets out to give a course on a subject which covers an extremely wide area, such as semantics, he or she obviously has to choose between focusing too narrowly and hence treating only a small part of the field, and trying to deal with too much and therefore taking a shallow approach. In looking for a middle way, one can try to provide a rather wide coverage with an appropriate depth for each topic. My Linguistics course includes an overview of linguistic and non-linguistic semantics. The former includes lexical, grammatical, and discourse analysis. In the latter case I devote most of the time to my description of general semantics. The available educational material determines, in large part, my success or failure in striking an appropriate balance between professor-to-professor shop talk and skimming over the field too shallowly. If I have a or an article which explains the main points of a subfield in a nutshell, I have a great chance to succeed. With such a map of a vast territory we can deal quickly with one topic and pass on into the heart of another. A good overview provides the basis for assigned reading in primary sources plus dealing with specific important cases. We have a variety of books and booklets available for students' first acquaintance with general semantics. In this connection I include the Scriptographic booklet by L. Channing, About Semantics, Don Fabun's well-known Communication: The Transfer of Meaning, Kenneth G. Johnson's General Semantics: An Outline Survey, and a coloring book by D. David Bourland, Jr., and Elizabeth J. Bourland, A Course in Advanced Squirrelty Semantics. Of course, those books differ greatly in their scope and the way they present the main issues of general semantics. Johnson's General Semantics: An Outline Survey consists of a detailed outline organized around 27 primary points. My students find it worthwhile reading after encountering more detailed descriptions of general semantics. Fabun's Communication: The Transfer of Meaning touches upon the central issues of general semantics such as the importance of symbols in human communication, the meaning of meaning, the troubles with the verb to be, the value of using etc., and so on. Still, this does not cover all the main issues, and it does not provide the newcomer to the field with a thorough map of the territory. Channing's About Semantics, although more superficial and sketchy, seems favored by some of my students (non-native speakers of English), due to the visual support it gives to its readers. …" @default.
