The Evolution of Linguistic Dimensions and the Emergence of Aletheiatics: From Semantic Foundations to the Recognition of Speech's Inherent Falsity

This paper examines the historical development of linguistic theory through its three traditional dimensions—semantics, syntax, and pragmatics—arguing that each represents an evolutionary step toward disambiguation that ultimately fails to achieve its goal. Drawing from classical, modern, and contemporary theorists, we demonstrate how persistent misunderstandings reveal the fundamental incompatibility between language and truth. We propose "Aletheiatics" as a fourth dimension that recognizes silence as the only authentic expression of truth, not as surrender but as acknowledgment of the inherent contradiction between speech and certainty.

Abstract

This paper examines the historical development of linguistic theory through its three traditional dimensions—semantics, syntax, and pragmatics—arguing that each represents an evolutionary step toward disambiguation that ultimately fails to achieve its goal. Drawing from classical, modern, and contemporary theorists, we demonstrate how persistent misunderstandings reveal the fundamental incompatibility between language and truth. We propose "Aletheiatics" as a fourth dimension that recognizes silence as the only authentic expression of truth, not as surrender but as acknowledgment of the inherent contradiction between speech and certainty.
