Late Praxic Age

First Appearance and Context

The label appears in a quoted entry for “Liaison” in The Dictionary (4th edition, A.R. 3000). There it describes one sense as “a Late Praxic Age bulshytt term,” suggesting a fuzzy usage about contacts or relations rather than a formal rule or office.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

  • Used by reference compilers as a period tag for dating senses, language stages, or social usages, functioning as the closing stretch of the broader Praxic Age.
  • Serves as a historiographic marker that helps place practices and words relative to later reforms and revivals set “after” the Reconstitution.

Relationships

  • A subperiod within the Praxic Age, invoked when finer granularity is needed (e.g., “late Praxic Age”).
  • Appears in The Dictionary’s periodization alongside neighboring labels (such as “early Reconstitution”) when tracing the evolution of terms.

Descriptions/Characteristics

  • Presented as a chronological label rather than a single event or institution. Current sources emphasize its use in dating language and usage rather than detailing specific happenings confined to this slice of time.
  • In the cited example, the Late Praxic tag is associated with the dictionary’s judgment that a sense of “liaison” is vague “bulshytt” terminology.

Current Status/Location

A historical designation employed in instruction and reference. No active offices, sites, or ongoing practices are tied specifically to this label in the material available so far.

Summary:

A late phase of the Praxic Age referenced in The Dictionary and used as a period label in definitions and usage notes. In current material it is cited to tag a vague, "bulshytt" usage of "liaison," rather than to denote a precise institution or event.
