GENERAL SEMANTICS ON THE INTERNET.STEVE STOCKDALE [*] IN DECEMBER 1999, while surfing and searching the Internet for references to Korzybski and general semantics gen·er·al semantics n. (used with a sing. verb) A discipline developed by Alfred Korzybski that proposes to improve human behavioral responses through a more critical use of words and symbols. , I stumbled upon this link: [less than]www. utexas.edu/coc/joumalism/Js363/lectures/lect11728/sid00l .htm[greater than] The site contained lecture notes by Wayne Danielson, University of Texas, for a Mass Communications course. After some introductory material, Slide 4 of 30 caught my attention: Quote of the Day: What distinguishes us from all other creatures? -- "A quarter inch of cortex." -- Alfred Korzybski Noun 1. Alfred Korzybski - United States semanticist (born in Poland) (1879-1950) Alfred Habdank Skarbek Korzybski, Korzybski Professor Danielson then addressed the general topic of The Trouble With Language, using several general semantics formulations and tools. The slide-lecture is based on a chapter in the Werner J. Severin and James W. Tankard Jr. book, Communication Theories: Origins, Methods and Uses in the Mass Media. (Fourth edition. New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of : Longman, 1997.) As I reviewed Professor Danielson's presentation, I recalled the list of educators compiled by Peter Christopher that appeared in the Summer 1999 ETC ETC - ExTendible Compiler. Fortran-like, macro extendible. "ETC - An Extendible Macro-Based Compiler", B.N. Dickman, Proc SJCC 38 (1971). . Inspired by the time-binding initiatives of Peter and Wayne, I began the new year by sending an e-mail to all those listed with e-mail addresses See Internet address. e-mail address - electronic mail address in the ETC article, as well as other known-to-me time-binders. My e-mails included several links related to general semantics which I've found meaningful, educational, informative, etc. The editors of ETC then suggested to me that a broader audience might find such links useful and invited this article. I gladly accepted their invitation. However, I want to state clearly that many more articles than the ones mentioned below reside on the sites I've listed. These articles serve only as a representative sample of the available online 'wealth' that I personally can recommend. Located on the Institute of General Semantics The Institute of General Semantics is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1938 by Alfred Korzybski, located in Fort Worth, Texas. Its membership roles include members from 30 different countries. website: [less than]www.general-semantics.org/[greater than] (Note the hyphen hyphen: see punctuation. .) * Biography, memoirs, and remembrances of Alfred Korzybski: [less than]www.general-semantics.org/institute/ak.shtml[greater than] A "must read," in my opinion, for anyone who finds value in the system that Alfred Korzybski formulated. One can gain an appreciation for the formulator behind the formulations in these compassionate, well-written and most accessible articles first published in the General Semantics Bulletin Number Three, 1950: * "A Biographical Sketch," by Charlotte Schuchardt. -- Charlotte Schuchardt Read first studied with Korzybski at a seminar in Chicago in 1936, then joined the Institute in 1939 as his editorial secretary. She currently serves as Director Emeritus of the Institute and remains active in the organization. Charlotte Read celebrated her 90th birthday this past December. * "A Memoir: Alfred Korzybski & His Work," by M. Kendig. -- M. Kendig, known by most as simply "Kendig," joined Korzybski in 1938, helped him establish the Institute of General Semantics, and served as the first Educational Director. After Korzybski died in 1950, Kendig assumed the duties of Director of the Institute and formulational torch bearer. She led the organization for the next two decades, serving as the driving force behind the General Semantics Bulletin, the annual Alfred Korzybski Memorial Lectures The distinguished Alfred Korzybski Memorial Lecture (AKML) series was begun in 1952. It is an annual event sponsored by the Institute of General Semantics in honor of Alfred Korzybski. , and the seminar-workshops. She died in November 1981. * "An Appreciation by One of His Students," by Guthrie M. Janssen. -- Guthrie M. Janssen edited Selections from Science and Sanity during his yearlong working fellowship at the Institute in 1946-47. * "The Alfred Korzybski I Know," by J. Samuel Bois. -- J. Samuel Bois published an impressive body of work in general semantics, including The Art of Awareness and Explorations in Awareness, and served as principal lecturer at the Institute's seminar-workshops immediately following Korzybski's death. * "He Deepened My Awareness," by Irving J. Lee. -- Irving J. Lee, professor of speech at Northwestern University Northwestern University, mainly at Evanston, Ill.; coeducational; chartered 1851, opened 1855 by Methodists. In 1873 it absorbed Evanston College for Ladies. until his untimely death in 1955, authored some of the most popular of the general semantics "popularizations," including Language Habits in Human Affairs. I would hope the above names "ring a bell" with many readers of ETC. Some other articles on this site I recommend are: * "Korzybski and General Semantics," by George Doris: [less than]www.general-semantics.org/gs/doris.shtml[greater than] Published in the General Semantics Bulletin Number 50 (1983). Then Editor Robert P. Pula Robert P. Pula, (1929–2004) was a Director Emeritus of the Institute of General Semantics, author of A General-Semantics Glossary, and a composer. Pula served as the lead lecturer for the Institute of General Semantics for many years. described this article as "[ldots] one of the most successful recent attempts we have seen" in presenting a "popular yet rigorous" explication ex·pli·cate tr.v. ex·pli·cat·ed, ex·pli·cat·ing, ex·pli·cates To make clear the meaning of; explain.

General enough for the beginning student of general semantics to grasp, yet with enough formulational 'meat' to provide a beneficial review for the more experienced time-binder. Note particularly Dori's s explanations distinguishing grammar, logic, semantics, and general semantics. * "The Role of Language in the Perceptual Processes," by Alfred Korzybski: [less than]www. general-semantics.org/gs/ak_role. Shtml[greater than] Published in Alfred Korzybski: Collected Writings 1920-1950. Korzybski died on March 1,1950, leaving this as his last published work. Charlotte Schuchardt completed the final "minor" editing, and presented the paper at the University of Texas Clinical Psychology Symposium on Perception, April 3, 1950. This paper, together with his Introduction to the Second Edition of Science and Sanity, provide overviews of the system which reflect the benefit of Korzybski's continual re-examination of the formulations even after publishing Science and Sanity. * "Using General-Semantics" by Dr. Susan Presby Kodish: [less than]www.general-semantics.org/gs/sk_using. Shtml[greater than] Published in ETC, Spring 1998. Susan Presby Kodish and her husband, Dr. Bruce I. Kodish, wrote the most recent overview of general semantics, Drive Yourself Sane!, the second edition of which will appear soon. "Using General-Semantics," from the Institute's seminar-workshop curriculum, provides practical applications for fifteen general semantics formulations. Suitable for daily use, these applications take general semantics out of the theoretical, academic realm and into that worthwhile endeavor of driving yourself sane (!). * "Creating Sense-able Questions For Silent-Level Experiments," by Bruce I. Kodish: [less than]www.general-semantics.org/gs/bkquest.shtml[greater than] More often than not, new students of the discipline overlook the non-verbal awareness aspects of general semantics. These short but effective exercises help one grasp the profundity of Korzybski's insight: "Our actual lives are lived entirely on the objective levels, including the un-speakable 'feelings,' 'emotions,' etc, the verbal levels being only auxiliary, and effective only if they are translated back into first order un-speakable effects, such as an object, an action, a 'feeling,' etc, all on the silent and un-speakable objective levels." S&S, page 35. * "Fuzzy Logic fuzzy logic, a multivalued (as opposed to binary) logic developed to deal with imprecise or vague data. Classical logic holds that everything can be expressed in binary terms: 0 or 1, black or white, yes or no; in terms of Boolean algebra, everything is in one set or and General-Semantics in Everyday Life," by Bruce Kodish and Susan Presby Kodish: [less than]www.general-semantics.org/gs/sk_fuzz.shtml[greater than] This well-written 1994 paper, presented at the Colloquium col·lo·qui·um n. pl. col·lo·qui·ums or col·lo·qui·a 1.

Founded as a division of New York Univ. in 1935, it became independent in 1940, and its name was changed to Hofstra College. in November 1995. Dawes' articles 'always' reflect his unique insights into how a general semantics orientation results in more fully human living and evaluating. (Other articles by Milton Dawes reside on the IGS site at: [less than]www.general-semantics.org/gs/#md [greater than], and on my site, [less than]www.thisisnotthat.com/md/md_art.html[greater than.) * An annotated bibliography An annotated bibliography is a bibliography that gives a summary of the research that has been done. It is still an alphabetical list of research sources. In addition to bibliographic data, an annotated bibliography provides a brief summary or annotation. of books related to general semantics, by Robert P.

Pola, city (1991 pop. 62,378), W Croatia, on the Adriatic and at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula. provides an invaluable aid to serious students and aspiring
time-binders, not only because he's compiled a listing of the most
important books about, and related to, general semantics, but he also
provides rigorous and critical assessments of those books.

Update (1995)," by Robert P. Pula: [less than]www.general-semantics.org/gs/rp_neuro.shtml[greater than] In this extended explication, Pula reviews three books, relating how general semantics "holds up" under the light of then-current (1995) neuroscience. He discusses: Gerald M.

Chartered as a collegiate school for men in 1701 largely as a result of the efforts of James Pierpont, it opened at Killingworth (now Clinton) in 1702, moved (1707) to Saybrook (now Old Saybrook), and in 1716 was , commemorating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Institute. This paper appeared in the General Semantics Bulletin Number 54 and provides a fascinating -- in my opinion -- glimpse into the early days of the organization from Charlotte Read's unique perspective. The International Society for General Semantics continues to add to its site at: [less than]www.generalsemantics.org/[greater than] (Note: no hyphen.) Several articles from the archives of ETC merit your particular attention, especially these three: [less than]www.generalsemantics.org/Articles/article_from_etc.htm[greater than], * "A Compendium com·pen·di·um n. pl. com·pen·di·ums or com·pen·di·a 1.

Robert Wanderer, Director of the International Society and recipient of the 1999 J. Talbot Winchell Award for his contributions to the advancement of general semantics, provides this most helpful compendium of definitions. And even with this seemingly comprehensive compilation, we remember the etc. -- more could be said. * "A General-Semantics Glossary, Part 1," by Robert P. Pula: [less than]www.generalsemantics.org/Articles/GLO1GS.HTM[greater than] From ETC, Pula offers this concise, rigorous description of the discipline. Note that several other selections from his "Glossary" appear on the site, with links located on: [less than]www.generalsemantics.org/Articles/articles_from_etc.htm[greater than] Pula's entire glossary of general-semantics terms will soon appear in book form under the title A General-Semantics Glossary: Pula's Guide for the Perplexed per·plexed adj. 1.

David Bourland, Jr., formulator of E-Prime and current President of the International Society for General Semantics, studied under Korzybski and served as working Fellow at the Institute during Korzybski's final year. In this article, published in ETC in 1989, Bourland puts forth a rational explanation of the theory underlying E-Prime, and a compelling case for its application.

In the mid-1950s, she lectured and led sensory awareness exercises as a member of the Institute's seminar staff. Her work greatly influenced Charlotte Schuchardt Read, who continues to promote this under-appreciated aspect of re-training and re-orienting the organism -as-a-whole-in-environments-at-given-times. Read served on a panel discussion of sensory awareness as part of the one-day colloquium on "Mindfulness" last October at Pace University, co-hosted by the Institute and the Straus Thinking & Learning Center. * Life Moves: [less than]www.transmillennium.net/brucekodish/index.html[greater than] From Charlotte Selver to Charlotte Schuchardt Read to Dr. Bruce I.
