General semantics is the study of relationships between symbol systems and nervous systems as expressed in behavior.
- Bob Pula
Bob Pula gave these lively and entertaining lectures during a general semantics weekend seminar in 1979 in San Diego, California. Noted for his rigorous approach to general semantics, Pula served for many years as the lead lecturer at the Institute of General Semantics seminar-workshops. Some of those involved in the field consider this recording the most korzybskian of post-korzybskian expositions on general semantics.
