Shaping the Future of Language Studies is a ground-breaking appeal
to students and professionals in the field of Linguistics and
Literature and the Philosophy of Language. It presents a coherent
challenge to those who are struggling with the problem of language
universals and to those who are trying to find a principle of
integration in the broad field of language studies. The full reach
of the work is summed up in the title to Chapter 9: "Towards
Methodological Restructuring in Language Studies." In the field of
Linguistics, the Greenberg School, reaching quite beyond previous
efforts such as that of Chomsky, was looking for and grasping at a
principle for methodological restructuring. However, the principle
necessary for successful restructuring was not hinted at adequately
either in the field of Linguistics or within the broad field of
Language Studies itself. The elusive principle emerged more clearly
in the field of Theology. That principle also furnished a precise
dynamic underpinning for restructuring language studies by bringing
to light two fundamental components: first, a focal shift in
grammatology (treated mainly in chapters 1-4) and secondly, a
functional relating of sub-fields of language (mainly discussed in
chapters 8 and 9). The book proceeds "on the basis of empirical
observation, rather than by speculation" (p. 1) with solutions
drawn from long-neglected achievements in Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas
and Bernard Lonergan and presented in conjunction with a rich
panorama of linguistic specimens and performance. This study
anticipates a future transformation of language instruction from
junior kindergarten to advanced post-secondary levels of education,
and ultimately, a lifting of education in the Humanities toward
richer research and more adequate communication.
In 1918, urged on by his son Harry, John Benton Hart began to tell
stories of a three-year period in his youth. He recalled his days
as a trooper in the Eleventh Kansas Cavalry, fighting in Missouri
and on the frontier, and his time as a civilian jack-of-all-trades
doing risky work for the U.S. Army on the Wyoming-Montana Bozeman
Trail in the middle of the Indian resistance campaign known as Red
Cloud's War. Once started, John Benton Hart became an enthusiastic
raconteur, describing events with an almost cinematic vividness,
while his son, an aspiring writer, documented his father's
testimony in what became several manuscripts. Compiled and
reproduced here, edited by historian John Hart, John Benton Hart's
great-grandson, this memoir is a singular document of living
history. As a young Kansas cavalryman, John Benton Hart
participated in two momentous episodes of the Civil War era -
Sterling Price's Missouri Expedition of 1864, including the Battle
of Westport, and such engagements in the Plains Indian Wars as the
Battle of Platte Bridge in July 1865 and the Hayfield Fight near
Fort C. F. Smith in 1867. In the engaging style of a natural
storyteller, Hart re-creates these events as he experienced them,
giving readers a rare glimpse at moments of historical import from
the point of view of the ""ordinary"" soldier. In arresting detail,
he also tells of crossing the Plains as a bullwhacker, carrying the
mail between the beleaguered forts on the Bozeman Trail, and
befriending scout Jim Bridger and Mountain Crow Chief Blackfoot.
Framed and supplemented with the editor's biographical, historical,
and explanatory notes, Hart's memoir offers a new perspective on
events long fixed in the historical imagination. As history writ
large or on a personal scale, Bluecoat and Pioneer tells a
remarkable story.
