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.
