RECOMMENDATION OF EDENICS


I am most gratified to lend support to the school of linguistics known as "Edenics" as described on the following web site:

http://www.homestead.com/edenics/.

Having been in correspondence with Isaac Elchanan Mozeson and having read a number of samples of his work, I am convinced that Edenics is a great contribution to linguistics in our times. Edenics will, when fully developed, serve as the basis of a far more profound understanding of human cognition as cultural development. Having previewed excerpts from the soon-to-be-published book ORIGIN OF SPEECHES, I would heartily recommend it.

The revision of etymology is a monumental task and requires the efforts of many experts in related fields to join hands with those who are presently contributing to the study of Edenics in refining and elucidating the thesis. I put out a clarion call to all Hebrew linguists, particularly those working in computational linguistics; those analyzing the mathematics of the alphanumerical Hebrew language and those working in other related fields to consider every and any way their work might complement, supplement and augment that of Mr. Mozeson.

It is my considered opinion that collaboration between those working in Hebrew linguistics and those working in bioinformatics is essential. The Hebrew language appears to function as an organism in a number of ways. The radicals in the Hebrew language can be likened to genetic sequences. The rearrangement of the order of the letters in the radicals is reminiscent of isomers. The metatheses of letters into other letters are mutation-like.

In order to prove that Hebrew is the progenitor of its progeny, and, perhaps, anticipate the development of languages, we will have to know the linguistic/genetic codes that translate Hebrew into its daughter languages and keep careful records of them. This work is very similar to the work now being carried on by bioinformaticians and will aid the work of those involved in computational linguistics.
