Diactic[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A neologism coined by one Teruaki Georges Sumioka, a name that I'd not heard of till minutes ago, but apparently a theorist who's also donated "Spiral Up Structure" to the long-suffering English language, and probably "Action line" too. "Diactic" is clearly the distillation of some very Deep Thought indeed, and perhaps my inability to make head or tail of it merely reflects my inexcusable lack of a PhD in Continental Philosophy. On the other hand, it's just possible that it's mere obscurantism. (Not that my reason for nomination is that I don't like it, mind you. Far from it: I'm entranced by its aroma.) Now, "diactic" does manage to get a small number of ghits, but they're not obviously related and they often seem to be mere typos for "didactic". T. G. Sumioka is welcome to coin as many words and phrases as he wishes, but Wikipedia is not a dictionary of hopeful neologisms. And because these neologisms are failed or unused, there's no point redirecting the articles on them.

I am also nominating the following related pages because what's written above applies to them too:
