| Summary: | In this paper an outline of a theory of archaeological grammar is developed. The type of discourse this theory deals with is explained, as well as the relevance of the theory for a critique of both the positivist and deconstructionist models of text and discourse. Reference is made to the opening phrases in the Prologue of the Gospel of John to illustrate some of the basic concepts of the theory. Examples such as the modern reverence for the human mind or for social justice are also dealt with in the analysis, to indicate how the principles of archaeological grammar underlie both the biblical and the modernist language of belief. Connecting links which this grammar may have with other theories, such as the study of rhetoric or speech act theory or conceptual semantics, are briefly pointed out. |
