Shaping the Future of Language Studies is a ground-breaking appeal to students and professionals in the field of Linguistics and Literature and the Philosophy of Language. It presents a coherent challenge to those who are struggling with the problem of language universals and to those who are trying to find a principle of integration in the broad field of language studies. The full reach of the work is summed up in the title to Chapter 9: "Towards Methodological Restructuring in Language Studies." In the field of Linguistics, the Greenberg School, reaching quite beyond previous efforts such as that of Chomsky, was looking for and grasping at a principle for methodological restructuring. However, the principle necessary for successful restructuring was not hinted at adequately either in the field of Linguistics or within the broad field of Language Studies itself. The elusive principle emerged more clearly in the field of Theology. That principle also furnished a precise dynamic underpinning for restructuring language studies by bringing to light two fundamental components: first, a focal shift in grammatology (treated mainly in chapters 1-4) and secondly, a functional relating of sub-fields of language (mainly discussed in chapters 8 and 9). The book proceeds "on the basis of empirical observation, rather than by speculation" (p. 1) with solutions drawn from long-neglected achievements in Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas and Bernard Lonergan and presented in conjunction with a rich panorama of linguistic specimens and performance. This study anticipates a future transformation of language instruction from junior kindergarten to advanced post-secondary levels of education, and ultimately, a lifting of education in the Humanities toward richer research and more adequate communication.

Floyd Collins is perhaps the most famous person you have probably never heard of. Collins was a Kentucky cave explorer who was trapped for more than two weeks during the winter of 1925 in a cave located within the boundaries of what is now Mammoth Cave National Park. Collins had no fear of exploring the most difficult cave passages, and few people could match his persistence and endurance. The story of Floyd Collins becoming trapped, then buried alive, and ultimately dying alone in a cave held a powerful grip on the hearts and minds of people the world over. The resulting media coverage put Mammoth Cave on the map and helped usher the actual designation of Mammoth Cave as a national park. His explorations laid the foundation for others to later discover that Mammoth Cave was the longest cave in the world.
