16: Stage 2 – a pause for thought

7th May 2019David Lott Leave a comment

And, so, as it’s been a while, let’s recap on what has been being done here and consider ‘where now’. Dissecting, questioning, dividing I’ve been dissecting thought and grammar into 2 basic intersecting dimensions of the analytic and the synthetic.… Continue reading →

F – The Arelian model of the self – level 2

7th April 2019David Lott Leave a comment

Let’s look now at the second level of, to give it its full name, the Arelian multi-dimensional paradynamic model of the self. At the first level, level 1, there are three components: mind, body and spirit. Within an Arelian model,… Continue reading →

E – The Arelian model of the self – level 1

5th April 2019David Lott Leave a comment

Or to give it its full name, the Arelian multi-dimensional paradynamic model of the self has a structure on 3 levels. On the ‘lower’ two levels, there are three component parts in each; on the first level, level 1, these… Continue reading →

D – Paradynamics

19th March 2019David Lott Leave a comment

I talked in the previous post here about the ‘Paradynamic Self’, but I have since felt the need to take a step back and to talk first about Paradynamics. Yup, I rarely go a step forward without then going 2… Continue reading →

C – Care and abuse

11th November 2018David Lott Leave a comment

My favourite dictionary defines care, in its more positive sense, as ‘heedfulness’. It implicitly defines heedfulness as ‘attentiveness’, ‘cautious-ness’. Similarly to use, care is both noun and verb but, of course, does not change its pronunciation between the noun and… Continue reading →

B – What is abuse?

2nd November 2018David Lott Leave a comment

15 Rethinking the synthetic grammar: the two key types of sentence

26th October 2018David Lott Leave a comment

14 Second thoughts – about subject and object

19th October 2018David Lott Leave a comment

I have said, previously here, that subject (often the doer of an action) and object (often the focus of an action) look to be viable and effective terms and to pass all the criteria, listed here so far, for safe… Continue reading →

13 Adjuncts, disjuncts and conjuncts – are these useful terms/concepts?

12th October 2018David Lott Leave a comment

It seems to me that the term ‘adverbial’ needs to be removed from the synthetic-grammar lexicon, because it is not transparent and it is often unclear as to what is an adverbial and what is not. In the current conventional… Continue reading →

12 The synthetic grammar of English – assessing the conventional wisdom with objects, complements, verbs and adverbials

7th April 2018David Lott 4 Comments

Here, for ease of reference, is the set of criteria we are using in assessing the conventional wisdom, on the synthetic grammar of English, for its values and demerits. A successful classificatory system needs to have: absolute clarity as to… Continue reading →
