SARL EDITIONS BERESHIT SIRET number: 985 120 948 00015 Head office 34 rue de la Tombe Issoire 75014 Paris (hereinafter the "Publisher")

Scope of application

The www.parakl.ist website offers users online access to the video scripts of the Publisher CEO, Mr Emmanuel IFERGAN (the "Paraklet") in French and English (the "Scripts"). The Scripts provide access to the hidden structure of language (the "Discovery"), a trace of the sophistication of language in Homo Sapiens, at the intersection of linguistic, philological, ethnological and paleoanthropological domains.

To facilitate the acquisition of the knowledge needed to access the Discovery, these Scripts are enriched with :

  • the systematic indexing of certain words, in what is known as the "PaRaKLeT style", capitalizing certain consonants making up the root of said words, making it possible to constitute the world's first meta-linguistic / phono-semantic database;

  • the creation, for each Script, of a so-called "Structure" file, grouping these key words by Script section, identified by its title (each a "Section"). These Sections can themselves be subdivided into subgroups (each, a "Semantic Field"). The Structure of each Script also includes the sources cited - notably in the Scriptures and ancient texts (Bible, Koran, Gathas, etc.) - grouped by Section.

  • access, from each Section of the Structure of a Script, to copies of certain pages of reference works (each, a "Short Extract"), within the framework of the right of quotation provided for in article 10 1) of the Berne Convention on Copyright, highlighting a phono-semantic "zoning" (framed in red) (the "Library");

Access to certain areas of the www.parakl.ist website is subject to registration (see Privacy) and/or payment of a subscription fee (see Terms and Conditions).
