Evidence from documents: LTI – Lingua Tertii Imperii: '''''LTI – Lingua Tertii Imperii: Notizbuch eines Philologen''''' (1947) is a book by Victor Klemperer, Professor of Literature at the Dresden University of Technology. The title, half in Latin and half in German, translates to "'''''The Language of the Third Reich: A Philologist's Notebook'''''"; the book is published in English translation as '''''The Language of the Third Reich'''''.
''Lingua Tertii Imperii'' studies the way that Nazi propaganda altered the German language to inculcate people with the ideas of Nazism. The book was written under the form of personal notes which Klemperer wrote in his diary, especially from the rise of the Nazi regime in 1933, and even more after 1935, when Klemperer, was stripped of his academic title because he was of Jewish descent. His diary became a notebook in which he noted and commented on the linguistic relativity of the German used by Nazi officials, ordinary citizens, and even fellow Jews. Klemperer wrote the book, based on his notes, in 1945–1946.
Meaning and Necessity: '''''Meaning and Necessity: A Study in Semantics and Modal Logic''''' (1947; enlarged edition 1956) is a book about semantics and modal logic by the philosopher Rudolf Carnap.
