TOCH LIBRARY

Most of the books in Hans Toch’s library are heavily marked up. This makes them worthless monetarily, but a treasure to see what he considered significant in the many classics in his library, including many written by his former students.

The Use and Misuse of Language

USED BOOK. MAY CONTAIN MARK-UP

Edited, and with a foreword by S. I. Hayakawa

FROM THE FOREWORD: “The essays in this book are selected from the files of the quarterly journal, ETC.: A Review of General Semantics, of which I have been editor since its foundation in 1943. General semantics is the study of the relations between language, thought, and behavior: between how we talk, therefore how we think, and therefore how we act. How We Talk. In general semantics, when we concern ourselveswith how people talk, we are not worrying about the elegance of their pronunciation or the correctness of their grammar. Basically we are concerned with the adequacy of their language as a "map" of the "territory" of experience being talked about.
