(Tagmemic theory and practice deals with language in terms...)
Tagmemic theory and practice deals with language in terms of three hierarchies: grammar, reference, and phonology; it treats each of these hierarchies at various levels of structure; and it does so in relation to a frame of reference integrated with a theory of behavior. No other theory of linguistics has covered such a broad theoretical perspective, or been applied to so wide a field of materials for analysis. This book is in three parts: (1) An analysis, by Evelyn Pike, of a particular text, shows how grammar and reference are handled at the various hierarchical levels. (2) An analysis of a poem, where phonology in relation to levels of hierarchy can most appropriately be seen. (3) A treatment of a difficult and important problem advancing the theory itself: specifically, it shows how irregularity on a low level of structure may reflect regularity at a higher level of structure - and by doing so resolve oneo fhte long-lasting puzzles in the development of tagmemics.
