Tagmemics: a system which requires the writer to assess a single object from a tripartite

(three-part) perspective-- particulate, wave, and field.

Particulate-- what are the particulars (characteristics) of your topic?

Wave-- how have the particulars (characteristics) changed over time from the vantage
point of the medium or media or your choice (e.g., religious beliefs, social norms,
political beliefs, economics, etc.)?

Field--how do the particulars (characteristics) relate to current beliefs and/or to other


topics? In other words, how do the particulars (characteristics) of the topic fit into the
specific environment/context/field in which they are being assessed and/or perceived?

Note that in analysing relationships there exist those that are overt (readily apparent) and
those that are covert (hidden or not so readily apparent).
