Irving Lee-on the Difference Between Words and Things

Duration: 33

Year Published: 1961

Creator: WNET/13

Format: 16mm

Color: B&W

Description: Discusses the consequences of forgetting that words only point to things and are not the things themselves. Attention to words alone may lead to unrealistic behavior, because language made it easy to distort what we are describing. It is easier to exaggerate in our speaking than to be precise. This tendency to exaggerate is based partly on a failure to limit our description or judgement of a person or thing to a particular time and context. (WI-TV) Kinescope.
