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.

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.
