By Daniel Deleanu
Inspired by such "philosophers of the Word" as Plato, Zeno the Stoic, Philo of Alexandria, John the Evangelist and Ludwig Wittgenstein, as well as by the works of C.G.Jung, Daniel Deleanu continues in his new book the logosophistic adventure started in Principles of Logosophism and The Logoarchetype. Logosophistic Investigations is written in the same "logosophistic English", an original metalanguage with archetypal roots. The author makes English foreign to itself while returning to its unconscious sources.

In this new volume, Daniel Deleanu "rewrites" Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus from a logosophistic perspective, at the same time concentrating on a heuristic exploration of the fascinating realm of the Logos.

The divide between the North Indians and the South Indian Dravidians was created by the two British-initiated theories of the ‘Aryan invasion of India’ (AII) and the Indo-European family of languages (IE). Both the theories – AII and IE – were mischievously engineered by the British, with their colonial and missionary agenda, guided by their world-known notorious policy, ‘Divide and Rule’.

According to the AII, Aryans invaded India in about 1500 B.C. and got settled in North and forcibly pushed dark-skinned Dravidians to South. Aryans brought Sanskrit and composed the Vedas. The Dravidian – Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam – are the native languages of India, not Sanskrit.

With abundant historical irrefutable evidence, it has been established that the alleged invading Aryans were originally from Aryavarta (India) who had gone overseas earlier than 1800 B.C. for trade, and had established their Vedic kingdoms in several countries. Even Greece was colonized by the Indo-Aryans. When in trouble in about 1500 BC, some of them attempted to return to India, the land of their ancestors. The rest were culturally absorbed. The returning Aryans were mistaken as invaders because they were traveling in armored horsedriven chariots. It was their return to, not invasion of India.

Because of long cohabitation between Sanskrit-speaking Aryans and Europeans, as the result of Indian colonization, Sanskrit influenced several European languages, particularly Greek and Latin. Resulting philological resemblances prompted Sir William Jones to theorize the IE, that Sanskrit and European languages have a common origin. It has been proved that Sanskrit and European languages do not have a common origin and that there is significant resemblance between Sanskrit and the Dravidian languages, much more than between Sanskrit and European languages.

Conversation With The WordMan provides insight into the incisive analysis of words and language by Paul JJ Payack, The WordMan. Lovers of words and language will better understand why The WordMan has been frequently cited and quoted in the worldwide media whenever language-related questions arise:
  • the origin of the word, chad, during the 2000 Presidential Elections,
  • the number of words in the English Language,
  • the most frequently spoken word on the planet (OK),
  • the phenomenon of Bushisms (as in misunderestimate), and
  • the impact of lingo that impact the language, such as the word bling-bling from 'hip-hop' artists.
Payack has collected several dozen of The WordMan's creative works that all involve various aspects of language. These include 'meta-histories' that describe the invention of the Zero; essays on the invention of the infinity symbol, the history of chess, and the Ides of March; as well as 'metafictions' that describe 'the Dream-table,' 'the Versificators,' and 'Mythomania'.

By Lewis Poteet
Collected from the talk of the people who live along Nova Scotia's South Shore, from Halifax to Yarmouth on the Atlantic shore, this book is a lively guide to the unusual way they speak. It is both very old, including words and phrases spoken but not written down since before Chaucer, and in a lively way, new and elaborate, like the original, complete version of "happy as a clam." It provides a guide to the life and character of these resilient fisher and farm folk. The work is illustrated with old photographs from the region, and it includes scholarly appendices on "Elizabethan English on Nova Scotia's South Shore" and "Rough Measure in Maritime Dialect Research," the latter written with Jacqueline Baum. The language will bring back vivid memories to those who have visited this scenic Maritime place and attract those who have not, to do so. As the record of a limited speech community, it may help students of English as a Second Language. It has been used by novelists, playwrights, and poets (including Robert MacNeil of the MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour, Canada's prolific dramatist Paul LeDoux, and George Elliott Clarke, a much-honored black Canadian poet), to give authentic flavor to their works. It will bring joy and insight to all who love language.

In most institutions, thee study of second language literary works has become a dead exercise of learning facts, figures and critical opinions about those works. The author feels that the judicious use of approaches suggested in stylistics would help second language students to judge things for themselves in a context not naturally attuned to the underlyng assumptions of that likterature. These 'things' would include the use of language, thus helping the ESL learner to develop an understanding of the dynamics of the language

The discipline of linguistics is a perfect example of the limitations of the modern academy. The combination of social taboos that make certain subject matter unfit for general knowledge and discovery, and the ever-narrowing specialization of scientists leaves us with an intellectual institution that can no longer do anything but apply, repair, and justify the dogma of Victorian Cosmology that is the rule all must follow. Linguistics should be one of the most interesting subjects, considering it is the study of our most valuable and revealing cultural asset, language. However, recent publications from the linguistic department for public consumption have been some of the most trivial and boring intellectual expositions that have ever been put between two covers.

Using the entire database of science, we look at the acquisition of language and how it forms our cultural perspective on life, including theories of language evolution. We develop the theory of the evolution of language from song, one of the few suppositions that Charles Darwin actually got right. From this basis we move on to the roots of Proto-Indo-European, which we call Bhear Tongue. Bhear Tongue is essentially the Eurasian language family dimly perceived by one of the greatest linguists of the twentieth century, Joseph Greenberg. From this perspective we can now retell the tribal stories from Iberia to Siberia, showing a common origin and motivation for human science and religion.

About the book and the author

John Yench tackles that grand conception, a universal language for mankind. He has been involved with the printed word all his life, as journalist, correspondent, editor, columnist, and author, as well as TV moderator and host. His interests range to acting and singing in musicals and theater, including a character role in a Hollywood film. Born in Russia during the throes of its revolution, John Yench grew up in China where his career began in the Associated Press and China News. In Asia, he was an organizing founder of the Free Enterprise Society of the Philippines, along with well known national figures that included a President of the Republic, whose daughter is now the current President of the Philippines. While there, he edited the Journal of the American Chamber of Commerce, and formed the Economic Information Service. From 1948 on, he has worked on a universal, self-consistent language, where a word's sound alone would reveal its meaning, without the need of a dictionary. He summarized his ideas in the seventies, acquiring in the process, a Master's Degree at California State University. This book is the compilation of his work since that time.

In New England, as elsewhere in the United States, colleges and universities offer degrees in languages, but few make courses in the history of those languages mandatory. Aside from the usual MA theses and Ph.d. dissertations-almost all of them stiffly written attempts to isolate academically "workable" and degree-granting minutia-there is very little in print for the students of language that attempts to explain how contemporary languages in America have been and continue to be affected by their rubbing of elbows.

What is noticeably true about the French dialectical variations in and surrounding New England is generally true of the Spanish dialects spoken along our Mexican border too:
  • Both were at one time banned in their community schools.
  • Both have created hybrid dialects in English;
  • Both have retained vestiges of their rhythms and stresses in these hybrids;
  • Both have adopted English nouns and altered them appropriately;
  • Both have applied their verb structures to English verbs;
  • Both have adopted English cuss and curse words;
  • Both favor religious swears (unlike American English, which favors the sexual);
  • Both have insinuated words and expressions into contemporary American English.

Mutt Contay Saw is about French and what has happened to it in New England. But it's also about English. It's entirely in English, even the French pronunciations are rendered in English. There's a brief history tracing the development of English.
