[From: Dennis Delprato (920913)]
Eileen Prince asked for two recommended books. I'll recommend
one, J. R. Kantor's *Psychological Linguistics*, 1977, Principia
Press. You will not find PCT explicitly presented here. What
you will find is a naturalistic re-examination of linguistics
free from environmentalistic and mentalistic approaches that
underlie all alternatives to how PCT handles linguistic acts.
Unless one has rather thoroughly "digested" system theory and
cybernetics (and bracketed the fluff from both), one will likely
find Kantor's linguistics a valuable lead into detailed PCT
handling of linguistic acts.
