It has been published in at least three different forms. The book is
probably the most common, but I did not find it online. <br>

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><span class="">
