The Language: Thinking, Writing, Communicating. Episode 7: Just Plain English

1981

Nine-part series dealing with language and its use. This episode discusses the use of jargon and generic terms, and the imprecision of thought and speech that results. Edwin Newman, S.I. Hayakawa, and Richard Mitchell are among those interviewed. Host: Ron Canada. Writer: Sharon Elizabeth Doyle. Last few minutes are glitchy.
