Thompson, Wayne N. – ETC: A Review of General Semantics, 1971
Author notes that semantics, originally designed as non-Aristotelian discipline, has become anti-Aristotelian. He outlines six significant areas in which almost no difference can be found between Greek philosopher's ideas and those of modern semanticists; for example: words are symbols, not things; meanings lie within persons, not words.
