=The Language of History= Chris Husbands, in //What Is history teaching? Language, ideas and meaning in learning about the past// (Open University Press, 1996), identifies four aspects of language, used by the discipline of history, that students should be exposed to:
 * 1) The language of historical time: e.g., era, century, decade, period, medieval, modern.
 * 2) The language of the past: //specialist terminology:// sexton, patron, journeyman, swagman, squatter, suffragist, puritan, and so on; and //shifting language:// republican, orders, classes, radical, innovator, and so on.
 * 3) The language of historical description and analysis: revolution, democracy, monarchy, nationalism, identity, economic depression, inflation, and so on.
 * 4) The language of historical processes: change, continuity, cause, effect, similarity, difference, and so on.
