: 5. Is language a primarily social level phenomenon in the MoQ? : Posted by: Sam Norton
The question -I think- is whether language is a social phenomenon. MOQ is not special in this case. Although technically language can be used for intellectual communications it always feels like like a low-bandpass filter for ideas. Ideas need to be simplified in order to be expressed in language. On the other hand people can talk for hours in a manner reminding me of monkeys picking flees from each others bodies. Also may I bring to mind Wittgenstein who said that logic is the border of language and that it is impossible to express transcendental ideas at all in clear language. I would say language is a social phenomenon. __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
