21. Aster and Disaster: The Fallen World [Journals] [Kronos]
... when a word changed meaning over time (as most words do), the earliest known meaning was the most reliable meaning - if not, indeed, the only valid meaning. This attitude toward usage, though less wide-spread than it used to be, is still prevalent among purists, who tend to decry all semantic change. Among descriptive linguists, on the other hand, the attitude is stigmatized as "the genetic fallacy", that is, as the erroneous belief that entities always remain "essentially" what they first were. Historians of language tend to take an intermediate position. While recognizing that most words are subject to semantic shifts, they maintain that it is a ...

22. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (Feb 1987) Home | Issue Contents Horizons REPORT ON C.S .I .S . FIFTH ANNUAL SEMINAR AUGUST 22-25, 1986 at HALIBURTON, ONTARIO: notes by DAVID ROTH FRIDAY EVENING: ROGER WESTCOTT: Catastrophes: Prehistoric, Proto-Historic and Historic. Although this was the title of his lecture, Professor Westcott, whose subject is Linguistics, gave an entertaining talk about words, their contrasts and their associations. His mainspring was the story of Tantalus, the Trickster and I think what he was suggesting was that, at some point along a line of research, one could be "tricked" into coming to conclusions on what might be flimsy evidence. His examples were ...

... me that my error was pardonable. In any case, I am happy to have the record set straight: My role as consultant (which has been somewhat informal in any case) has involved Kronia Communications rather than AEON. I assume from what Cardona had to say that I may also have misunderstood the role of Roger Wescott, the linguist to whom I was referring, and the roles of the other two linguists referred to (Marinus van der Sluijs, from the Netherlands, and Josephine Bacon, from the U.K .) However, I am not sure of this, and I leave it to Cardona to clarify these points if he thinks that is necessary. ...

24. Habiru and Hebrew [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:1 (Oct 1997) Home | Issue Contents Habiru and Hebrew A reassessment of this key New Chronology identification by Dick Atkinson Summary It has been argued that the habiru' of the El Amarna letters correspond closely to David's Hebrews during the period of his outlawry and that the two words are linguistically related. Peter van der Veen argued that the precise socio-economic usages of the two terms in the El Amarna letters and in the First and Second Books of Samuel were identical and otherwise unparalleled, giving grounds for synchronising the two sources. This supports the New Chronology of David Rohl. This paper shows that there are severe problems with both ...

... of work. Both these postulates, however, are contradicted by etymological considerations, which clearly indicate that the word did exist at a very remote period of antiquity. Before we go any further, therefore, it would be as well to take a moment to forestall accusations of blinkered specialism and to "legitimise" the etymological arguments Principles of Linguistics Etymology is one of the oldest-established branches of linguistic science, and has developed alongside the techniques of comparative linguistics which gave rise to the concept of an "Indo-European family" of languages (including Celtic, Germanic, Latin, Greek, Slavonic, Persian and Indian languages) and the rather more nebulous concept of a "Proto-Indo-European" ( ...

26. Egyptian Language Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Language states: Languages are always in a state of flux. Change affects the way people speak as inevitably as it does any other area of human life. Language purists do not welcome it (p . 5), but they can do very little about it. Language would stand still only if society did. A world of unchanging linguistic excellence, based on the brilliance of earlier literary forms, exists only in fantasy. ' [5 ] Similarly, the author of a history of the English language observes: The main levels of organisation in language - sounds (phonetics-phonology), words or vocabulary (lexis) and grammar (morphology-syntax) are all three subject to the ...

... cats meowing, lions roaring, and donkeys braying in the same fashion since time immemorial." (3 ) The same is true for primates. And even though their vocal communications show many features characteristic of human language, their cries are limited. They do not invent new calls for new situations. (4 ) LANGUAGE IS FOR HUMANS Linguist Benjamin Whorf once made the statement that "Speech is the best show man puts on." (5 ) Indeed, linguistics, the description and analysis of language, is one of the four major branches of anthropology. In contrast with animal cries, human language exhibits infinite variability. The very essence of all language is activity and ...

... could only have been the unspoken but apparent contention that Velikovsky had not adequately covered the sources in his chronological efforts." For Kadish, this was a crucial point. "Indeed, when later provoked by Velikovsky, Kadish offered objections to three or four of Velikovsky's claims (including his translation of Hyksos* as shepherd kings' and his linguistical linking of Hatshepsut' and Sheba'(2 )) , concluding: I tried to suggest a variety of ways one could go about corroborating what Velikovsky has said. My contention- and I had assumed it would be implicit in what I said- was that it had not been done'."(3 ) [* ...
