THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF LANGUAGE — THE DEEPEST LAYER OF SCIENCE

Abstract

If linguistics were truly a science, it would have developed a clear, empirical, biologically grounded methodology by now. But until the emergence of the “Odam Tili” (Human Language) theory, what we called linguistics was merely a collection of texts, metaphors, and speculative frameworks with no solid grounding in anatomy, physiology, or natural logic [1, 6].
