Part 5: Philology

Standard sources are found lacking, for in the formation of an entirely new language one cannot hearken back to historical accounts for safe passage. One must first note the syntax, the phonological features, and the community by which the language has been derived.  A lexicon composed of structures and sounds indicating an obliteration of the arbitrary is at first an obscene gesture in the undertaking; emotional markers are presupposed as contrary by nature, denying millenniums of development yet enveloping shifts in articulation and tearing down the trenchant divisions of formalism, there are inherently contradictory and hardly indistinguishable nuances to the presentation of the language as a whole.  Classical doctrine is ravaged by the utterance of such a language, and literary theory is left by the wayside as the words of this language invade registrations and erase seeming photographic objectifications with very little to no effort, as if the act of said words existing had already started shifting the sands of time over recently-living ones, burying them alive, interbreeding with them, forming hybrids at the borders of old nations before erasing them from history completely.
