a
doctrine and system
developed by Polish-
American scholar and scientist, Alfred
Korzybski (1879-1950), which attempted to solve the problems associated with the meaning and
communication of words and their
effect on human
behavior and relations. It is the
study of
language as a representation of
reality. For
example, one of
Korzybski's
main views was that no
matter how much one says about some thing,
event or
quality one cannot describe or define its
actual reality with words as one cannot see everything about it or know everything about it. He suggested various "remedies" to improve this
situation such as making notations under certain words such as Smith1920 and Smith1935 to distinguish when in
time someone is being referred to, thus making the
language more precise.
