I was recently recommended this book : **People in quandaries; the semantics of personal adjustment**
The description of this book reads: “This is a book about the problems we have in trying to live with ourselves and with each other. These problems, together with ways of dealing with them, are discussed from the point of view of general semantics. This point of view emphasizes those aspects of the scientific method that are useful in daily living.”
But I could not make much sense of it.

I would define semantics as the different ways that we can say the same thing. One man called his wife “wife”. The next man calls his wife his “significant other” or “partner”. It’s just semantics.
