November article excerpt

The November article for premium subscribers to my site is due to be posted today, Nov. 3rd.
The title is Overlapping Terms and discusses why Mr. Parker used more than one term for the same thing.

Using two terms was his way of also getting you to see a term in opposite or reverse. His term, Horizontal Zones, is defined three ways. He provided a base definition, then fine-tuned it with others to say there are zones of defense and zones of attack. In this manner, you should see that the same zones are considered from the two perspectives, attack and defense. Maybe he should have just added that to the base definition. I don’t think he chose to because the definition would now become more lengthy and “encyclopedic” than a definition in a dictionary. He described our forms as being either dictionary or encyclopedia forms, and sets as an appendix. Therefore, there’s a consistency to his thinking.
