Since the 1800s, linguistics have been using Reed-Kellogg diagramming to teach about English syntax, but in 1916 we have Ferdinand de Saussure’s “Langue vs. Parole.” In 1954 we have John Gumpers’s and Dell Hymes’s S.P.E.A.K.I.N.G. model for language variation. In 1955 we have George Trager’s and Henry Lee Smith’s –eme and allo- forms (phoneme, allophone, etc.). In 1957 we have Noam Chomsky’s Generative Transformational grammar. In 1959, we have Kenneth Pike’s “Particle, Wave, and Field” grammar. In 1966 we have Charles Fillmore’s Deep Cases. In 1969 we have John Searle’s and J. L. Austin’s “Speech Acts” grammar. In 1980 we have George Lakoff’s “Metaphors we Live By.” In 1989 we have H. P. Grice’s “Conversational Implicatures.” In 2000 we have George Lakoff’s Embodiment. In 2000 we have Victor Raskin’s Script-Model Grammar, Salvatore Attardo’s adaption of Script-Model Grammar to long and sophisticated discourses, and Christian Hempleman’s adaption of Script-Model Grammar to Artificial Intelligence. So what is next in the continuing history of linguistics?
May I suggest my book

What about synergetic linguistics as introduced by Reinhard Köhler in the 1980s?
Hans Goetzsche: Excellent suggestion. This looks like an significant contribution.
Thank you very much for your reply. If you wish, I can provide you with the sources.
The problem is that nobody heard about the man who inherited Aristotle, why? because of lack of research, Al-Farabi's discovery:
https://www.academia.edu/50654163/Aper%C3%A7us_sur_la_naissance_de_la_langue_a_partir_du_Kit%C4%81b_Al_%E1%B8%A4uruf_dal_F%C4%81r%C4%81b%C4%AB_1
allowed me the following discovery:
https://www.academia.edu/9844885/PUBLISHED_STANDARDS_FOR_COMPUTER_PROCESSING_AND_TRANSMISSION_IN_ARABIC_AL_FARABI_BOOK_of_Particles_teaching
and thanks to this discovery a group of research came out with the most powerful multilingual standard UNICODE adopted by Microsoft with multiple implementation of their standard XML inherited from a less known standard SGML; many tools of AI are based on this standard.
A pretty sketchy perspective on the history of linguistics that has --deliberately or undeliberately-- skipped the contribution of a giant fingure that has travelled the highways and byways of linguistics to make a make a major contribution that would define the future of linguistics--M.A.K.Halidday.I believe that Halliday"s S.F.L. that straddles an ever burgeoning body of research in the fields of linguistics and applied linguistics is what would define the direction of linguistics in the twenty first century.
Amin Elsaleh: Excellent insight, I'm constantly being amazed by Arabic contributions to intellectual thought. Thanks again.
Mohammed Boukezzoula: Yes, of course Michael Haliday. A giant in the field. You're absolutely right about his significant contributions.
Don L. F. Nilsen Hello, I suggest going through this encylopedia entry and study the given sources: http://www.glottopedia.org/index.php/Synergetic_linguistics. Have fun!
Thank you very much indeed Pr.Don L.F.Nelson for your kind reply to my comment and ,more importantly,for having co-authored the book on language and humour.A glance at the table of contents of your book has opened my eyes to the existence of a field that i gnored about ,but that I wished from the bottom of my heart to have existed.I'll definitely devote time to read your book .In this regard,I 'd lke to have the slides on all content,but if I must choose, it will be very kind of you if you would kindly send me the ones dealing with the introduction and theory of humour.
Best regards
Mohammed: Here are five PowerPoints that relate to your own research: 1. Theories of Humor, 2. Discourse Theory, 3. Humor and Computers, 4. Humor in Rhetoric and Composition, and 5. Humor and Linguistics. If you send me your mailing address, I'll send you a flash drive containing all of the PowerPoints for THE LANGUGE OF HUMOR (Cambridge University Press, 2019). Thanks.
Thank you very much indeed Prof.L.F.Nelson for your generous response to my request.My email address is: [email protected] you in advance for your kind gestures.
Looking forward to your reply.

Hello again Pr.L.F.Nelson.
Here is again my e-mail address-in case you have not noticed it in the previous message:
and thank you very much indeed for your precious help
Best regards,
Mohammed: This e-mail address didn't work for me even though I sent you the materials. Sorry about that. I'll try it by Research Gate.
Mohammed: Here are the PowerPoints for Chapters 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
Profuse thanks Pr.L.F.Nelson for your generous gift.It is really a great honor and priviledge for me to learn from you about this interesting field of knowledge.
Looking forward for future occasions!
Highest regards,
Mohammed: Thanks for your interest in humor studies. P.S. Keep up the good work.
