MAP OF LANGUAGE / v0.1

Map of language

The body of knowledge about language, drawn as one tree. The roots hold the foundational questions (philosophy, general linguistics); the trunk holds the history of the field; the leaves hold concrete essays (literature, individual texts). A language that has died lies on the ground as a withered leaf. The tree changes shape as essays are added.
