'Kingdom of Speech': Mnemonic Artifact
This is the first of what I hope will be a series of very, very short summaries of books I've read.
Wolfe's 'Kingdom of Speech' comes to the conclusion that language is not evolutionary, nor hard-wired, but is an artifact made in a way similar to an axe, by putting together things that were in the environment.
This, of course, ignores the Biblical account that God spoke first, and must have taught Adam, and Eve.
It's valuable to think that He first spoke a liturgy.
(I'd like to see what Mike Bull will do with these letter-words, and I'm NOT saying that we have the answer in Hebrew grammar as presently organized.
B--House (be the house, come into the house, make a house...?
R--Head (bow your head, listen with the ears in your head, confess with the mouth in your head...?
SH--Eat
T--Cross (carry it, remember it?)
These seem to be things that will be filled in later, after we use the exegetical 'principle of first mention'.
Some Kabbala (?)- istic ones, 'Meru' (?) seem to think that the consonants are in a structured chain.
