This paper presents the framework of textit{Linguistics in the Time Cycle (LTC)}, a temporal-theoretical model that parallels the dynamics of genetic evolution. Drawing from the structure of Genetics in the Time Cycle (GTC), LTC explores how linguistic forms—phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic—evolve and are expressed through multiple temporal layers. These include micro-cycles (daily and cognitive rhythms), meso-cycles (developmental and generational changes), and macro-cycles (historical and cultural transformations). By mapping linguistic change to temporal structures, LTC offers an interdisciplinary methodology for understanding how time regulates and reshapes language across individual, societal, and evolutionary scales.
