The Swedish humorist Tage Danielsson wrote an independent
and brilliant precursor, "Grallimatik" (1966) where he
argues that most talking is not about communicating
information, but simply social status games and nice
sounds. So he outlines a grammar, semantics and style
guide for vacuous talking. It is a hilarious satire, but
actually making Frankfurt's point decades earlier. Nothing
new under the sun, as Aristotle tweeted. <br>
