45 Language
Philosophy is written in that great book, the universe, which is always open, right before our eyes. But one cannot understand this book without first learning to understand the language and to know the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and the characters are triangles, circles, and other figures. Without these, one cannot understand a single word of it, and just wanders in a dark labyrinth. (Galileo, 1990, p. 232)It never happens that it [a nonhuman animal] arranges its speech in various ways in order to reply appropriately to everything that may be said in its presence, as even the lowest type of man can do. (Descartes, 1970a, p. 116)It is a very remarkable fact that there are none so depraved and stupid, without even excepting idiots, that they cannot arrange different words together, forming of them a statement by which they make known their thoughts; while, on the other hand, there is no other animal, however perfect and fortunately circumstanced it may be, which can do the same. (Descartes, 1967, p. 116)Human beings do not live in the object world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society. It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection. The fact of the matter is that the "real world" is to a large extent unconsciously built on the language habits of the group.... We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation. (Sapir, 1921, p. 75)It powerfully conditions all our thinking about social problems and processes.... No two languages are ever sufficiently similar to be considered as representing the same social reality. The worlds in which different societies live are distinct worlds, not merely the same worlds with different labels attached. (Sapir, 1985, p. 162)[A list of language games, not meant to be exhaustive:]Giving orders, and obeying them- Describing the appearance of an object, or giving its measurements- Constructing an object from a description (a drawing)Reporting an eventSpeculating about an eventForming and testing a hypothesisPresenting the results of an experiment in tables and diagramsMaking up a story; and reading itPlay actingSinging catchesGuessing riddlesMaking a joke; and telling itSolving a problem in practical arithmeticTranslating from one language into anotherLANGUAGE Asking, thanking, cursing, greeting, and praying-. (Wittgenstein, 1953, Pt. I, No. 23, pp. 11 e-12 e)We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native languages.... The world is presented in a kaleidoscopic flux of impressions which has to be organized by our minds-and this means largely by the linguistic systems in our minds.... No individual is free to describe nature with absolute impartiality but is constrained to certain modes of interpretation even while he thinks himself most free. (Whorf, 1956, pp. 153, 213-214)We dissect nature along the lines laid down by our native languages.The categories and types that we isolate from the world of phenomena we do not find there because they stare every observer in the face; on the contrary, the world is presented in a kaleidoscopic flux of impressions which has to be organized by our minds-and this means largely by the linguistic systems in our minds.... We are thus introduced to a new principle of relativity, which holds that all observers are not led by the same physical evidence to the same picture of the universe, unless their linguistic backgrounds are similar or can in some way be calibrated. (Whorf, 1956, pp. 213-214)9) The Forms of a Person's Thoughts Are Controlled by Unperceived Patterns of His Own LanguageThe forms of a person's thoughts are controlled by inexorable laws of pattern of which he is unconscious. These patterns are the unperceived intricate systematizations of his own language-shown readily enough by a candid comparison and contrast with other languages, especially those of a different linguistic family. (Whorf, 1956, p. 252)It has come to be commonly held that many utterances which look like statements are either not intended at all, or only intended in part, to record or impart straightforward information about the facts.... Many traditional philosophical perplexities have arisen through a mistake-the mistake of taking as straightforward statements of fact utterances which are either (in interesting non-grammatical ways) nonsensical or else intended as something quite different. (Austin, 1962, pp. 2-3)In general, one might define a complex of semantic components connected by logical constants as a concept. The dictionary of a language is then a system of concepts in which a phonological form and certain syntactic and morphological characteristics are assigned to each concept. This system of concepts is structured by several types of relations. It is supplemented, furthermore, by redundancy or implicational rules..., representing general properties of the whole system of concepts.... At least a relevant part of these general rules is not bound to particular languages, but represents presumably universal structures of natural languages. They are not learned, but are rather a part of the human ability to acquire an arbitrary natural language. (Bierwisch, 1970, pp. 171-172)In studying the evolution of mind, we cannot guess to what extent there are physically possible alternatives to, say, transformational generative grammar, for an organism meeting certain other physical conditions characteristic of humans. Conceivably, there are none-or very few-in which case talk about evolution of the language capacity is beside the point. (Chomsky, 1972, p. 98)[It is] truth value rather than syntactic well-formedness that chiefly governs explicit verbal reinforcement by parents-which renders mildly paradoxical the fact that the usual product of such a training schedule is an adult whose speech is highly grammatical but not notably truthful. (R. O. Brown, 1973, p. 330)he conceptual base is responsible for formally representing the concepts underlying an utterance.... A given word in a language may or may not have one or more concepts underlying it.... On the sentential level, the utterances of a given language are encoded within a syntactic structure of that language. The basic construction of the sentential level is the sentence.The next highest level... is the conceptual level. We call the basic construction of this level the conceptualization. A conceptualization consists of concepts and certain relations among those concepts. We can consider that both levels exist at the same point in time and that for any unit on one level, some corresponding realizate exists on the other level. This realizate may be null or extremely complex.... Conceptualizations may relate to other conceptualizations by nesting or other specified relationships. (Schank, 1973, pp. 191-192)The mathematics of multi-dimensional interactive spaces and lattices, the projection of "computer behavior" on to possible models of cerebral functions, the theoretical and mechanical investigation of artificial intelligence, are producing a stream of sophisticated, often suggestive ideas.But it is, I believe, fair to say that nothing put forward until now in either theoretic design or mechanical mimicry comes even remotely in reach of the most rudimentary linguistic realities. (Steiner, 1975, p. 284)The step from the simple tool to the master tool, a tool to make tools (what we would now call a machine tool), seems to me indeed to parallel the final step to human language, which I call reconstitution. It expresses in a practical and social context the same understanding of hierarchy, and shows the same analysis by function as a basis for synthesis. (Bronowski, 1977, pp. 127-128)t is the language donn eґ in which we conduct our lives.... We have no other. And the danger is that formal linguistic models, in their loosely argued analogy with the axiomatic structure of the mathematical sciences, may block perception.... It is quite conceivable that, in language, continuous induction from simple, elemental units to more complex, realistic forms is not justified. The extent and formal "undecidability" of context-and every linguistic particle above the level of the phoneme is context-bound-may make it impossible, except in the most abstract, meta-linguistic sense, to pass from "pro-verbs," "kernals," or "deep deep structures" to actual speech. (Steiner, 1975, pp. 111-113)A higher-level formal language is an abstract machine. (Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 113)Jakobson sees metaphor and metonymy as the characteristic modes of binarily opposed polarities which between them underpin the two-fold process of selection and combination by which linguistic signs are formed.... Thus messages are constructed, as Saussure said, by a combination of a "horizontal" movement, which combines words together, and a "vertical" movement, which selects the particular words from the available inventory or "inner storehouse" of the language. The combinative (or syntagmatic) process manifests itself in contiguity (one word being placed next to another) and its mode is metonymic. The selective (or associative) process manifests itself in similarity (one word or concept being "like" another) and its mode is metaphoric. The "opposition" of metaphor and metonymy therefore may be said to represent in effect the essence of the total opposition between the synchronic mode of language (its immediate, coexistent, "vertical" relationships) and its diachronic mode (its sequential, successive, lineal progressive relationships). (Hawkes, 1977, pp. 77-78)It is striking that the layered structure that man has given to language constantly reappears in his analyses of nature. (Bronowski, 1977, p. 121)First, [an ideal intertheoretic reduction] provides us with a set of rules"correspondence rules" or "bridge laws," as the standard vernacular has it-which effect a mapping of the terms of the old theory (T o) onto a subset of the expressions of the new or reducing theory (T n). These rules guide the application of those selected expressions of T n in the following way: we are free to make singular applications of their correspondencerule doppelgangers in T o....Second, and equally important, a successful reduction ideally has the outcome that, under the term mapping effected by the correspondence rules, the central principles of T o (those of semantic and systematic importance) are mapped onto general sentences of T n that are theorems of Tn. (P. Churchland, 1979, p. 81)If non-linguistic factors must be included in grammar: beliefs, attitudes, etc. [this would] amount to a rejection of the initial idealization of language as an object of study. A priori such a move cannot be ruled out, but it must be empirically motivated. If it proves to be correct, I would conclude that language is a chaos that is not worth studying.... Note that the question is not whether beliefs or attitudes, and so on, play a role in linguistic behavior and linguistic judgments... [but rather] whether distinct cognitive structures can be identified, which interact in the real use of language and linguistic judgments, the grammatical system being one of these. (Chomsky, 1979, pp. 140, 152-153)23) Language Is Inevitably Influenced by Specific Contexts of Human InteractionLanguage cannot be studied in isolation from the investigation of "rationality." It cannot afford to neglect our everyday assumptions concerning the total behavior of a reasonable person.... An integrational linguistics must recognize that human beings inhabit a communicational space which is not neatly compartmentalized into language and nonlanguage.... It renounces in advance the possibility of setting up systems of forms and meanings which will "account for" a central core of linguistic behavior irrespective of the situation and communicational purposes involved. (Harris, 1981, p. 165)By innate [linguistic knowledge], Chomsky simply means "genetically programmed." He does not literally think that children are born with language in their heads ready to be spoken. He merely claims that a "blueprint is there, which is brought into use when the child reaches a certain point in her general development. With the help of this blueprint, she analyzes the language she hears around her more readily than she would if she were totally unprepared for the strange gabbling sounds which emerge from human mouths. (Aitchison, 1987, p. 31)Looking at ourselves from the computer viewpoint, we cannot avoid seeing that natural language is our most important "programming language." This means that a vast portion of our knowledge and activity is, for us, best communicated and understood in our natural language.... One could say that natural language was our first great original artifact and, since, as we increasingly realize, languages are machines, so natural language, with our brains to run it, was our primal invention of the universal computer. One could say this except for the sneaking suspicion that language isn't something we invented but something we became, not something we constructed but something in which we created, and recreated, ourselves.

50 в духе
I• В ДУХЕ coll[PrepP; Invar; subj-compl with copula (subj: human)]=====⇒ one is in a cheerful, happy mood:- X был в духе≈ X was in high <good, great> spirits;- X was in a good < great> mood (frame of mind).♦ Я был в духе, импровизировал разные необыкновенные истории; княжна сидела против меня и слушала мой вздор с таким глубоким, напряжённым, даже нежным вниманием, что мне стало совестно (Лермонтов 1). I was in high spirits, I improvised all kinds of extraordinary stories: the young princess sat opposite me and listened to my tosh with such deep, tense, even tender attention that I felt ashamed of myself (1a).II• В ДУХЕ[PrepP; Invar; Prep]=====1. в духе кого-чего, чьём, каком [the resulting PrepP is subj-compl with copula (subj: concr, abstr, or human), adv, or postmodif]⇒ (in a way) typical or characteristic of s.o. or sth. (as specified by the context):- [in limited contexts] thing Y has a little of X in it;- (that's) person X's style < way>;♦ Письмо начиналось очень решительно, именно так: "Нет, я должна к тебе писать!" Потом говорено было о том, что есть тайное сочувствие между душами... Окончанье письма отзывалось даже решительным отчаяньем... Письмо было написано в духе тогдашнего времени (Гоголь 3). The letter began in a very determined tone, in these words: "No, I really must write to you!" Then it went on to say that there was a mysterious affinity of souls... The end of the letter echoed downright despair....The letter was written in the spirit of the day (3c).♦ Усугубилась его [Чернышевского] манера логических рассуждений - "в духе тёзки его тестя", как вычурно выражается Страннолюбский (Набоков 1). His [Chemyshevski's] trick of logical reasoning was intensified - "in the manner of his father-in-law's namesake," as Strannolyubski so whimsically puts it (1a).♦ На северном хвостике косы был еще в духе Дикого Запада посёлочек, под названием Малый Бем и Копейка (Аксенов 7). At the northernmost tip of the spit was a small town called Bem-Minor-and-a-Kopeck that had a little of the Wild West in it... (7a).♦ Она мне очень понравилась, эта книга ["Чудо-богатырь Суворов"]... Она была составлена в патриотическом духе... (Олеша 3). That book [The Wonderful Warrior Suvorov] pleased me very much.... It was written in a patriotic spirit... (3a).♦ Когда он говорил о себе, то всегда в мрачноюмористическом духе (Набоков 1). When he spoke of himself it was always in a gloomily humorous vein (1a).2. в духе чьём, кого [the resulting PrepP is subj-compl with copula (subj: human, abstr, or concr) or postmodif]⇒ a person or thing is of a type, category etc that appeals to s.o., that s.o. approves of:- X is the sort of person (thing) Y likes.♦ Я уверен, что мои новые друзья тебе понравятся, они вполне в твоём духе. I'm sure you'll like my new friends, they're your sort of people.♦ [Суходолов:] Вот, видишь, вдали в дымке мачты... Это "Старые причалы". В твоём духе, поэтическое место... (Погодин 1). [S.:] There, you see those masts in the distant, smoky haze? That's "Old Harbor." The sort of thing you like, a poetic place (1a).3. В ТОМ ЖЕ <В ТАКОМ (ЖЕ), В ЭТОМ (ЖЕ)> ДУХЕ [adv, postmodif, or subj-compl with copula (subj: human, abstr, or concr); fixed WO]⇒ in a way similar to what was stated or implied previously:- in the same vein (spirit, manner, way);♦ [Сарафанов:] Я подумал, что её, может быть, смущает разница в возрасте, может, боится, что её осудят, или... думает, что я настроен против... В этом духе я с ней и разговаривал, разубеждал её... (Вампилов 4). [S.:] I thought maybe she was bothered by the difference in age. Maybe she was afraid she'd be criticized...or thinks I'm against it....I talked to her along those lines, tried to convince her I wasn't against it... (4b).♦ Ребров ему [Сергею Леонидовичу] что-то про справку, а тот - про то, что зол на весь мир, находится в опаснейшем, мизантропическом настроении... мы погибнем от лицемерия - и что-то ещё в таком духе (Трифонов 1). No sooner had Rebrov said something to him about the certificate than Sergei Leonidovich declared that he was mad at the whole world, that he was in an extremely negative, misanthropic mood...that hypocrisy would be our downfall-and more in the same vein (1a).♦ "По ленинским местам" фильм должен был называться или как-то в этом духе, я, признаться, точно не помню. А места эти, ленинские, они, как известно, в большинстве своём за рубежами нашей отчизны находятся. Потому что товарищ Ленин в своё время был тоже как бы невозвращенец (Войнович 1). I don't remember exactly what it [the film] was to be called-"In the Footsteps of Lenin"-something like that. As we know, the greater part of those footsteps occurred outside the borders of our country. Because Comrade Lenin at one time had been something of a defector himself (1a).⇒ approximately as follows:- in the vein that.♦ [Отставной активист] высказывался в том духе, что... квартира в жилтовариществе советских фотографов превратилась в пристанище для сборищ с определенной подкладкой, с сомнительным душком (Аксенов 12)....The retired activist expressed himself to the effect that...an apartment in a housing community for Soviet photographers had been "turned into a haven for gatherings of a certain element, with a dubious air" (12a).♦ Он уже хотел было выразиться в таком духе, что, наслышась о добродетелях [Плюшкина]... почел долгом принести лично дань уважения, но спохватился и почувствовал, что это слишком (Гоголь 3). He was about to venture an explanation in the vein that having heard of Pliushkin's virtues... he had deemed it his duty to pay him his due tribute of respect in person, but he reined up in time, realizing that it would be spreading it too thickly (3c). -

Он чешет затылок и запрашивает сколько бог на душу положит - или рубль, или три копейки, смотря по покупателю. (А. Чехов, В Москве на Трубной площади) — The seller himself does not know the value of a lark. He scratches his head and asks whatever comes into it, a rouble, or three kopeks, according to the purchaser.
- От Островнова, завхоза, дюже удивительно нам такие речи слухать! Как же ты без заданий будешь работать? Как бог на душу положит? (М. Шолохов, Поднятая целина) — 'It sounds mighty strange to hear Ostrovnov, our manager, talking like this. How will you work without a proper stint? Just as you feel like it?..'
Во всех нормальных школах учат писать таким способом: сперва в косую на трёх линейках, потом в косую на двух, затем на двух линейках уже без косых, после - в одну линейку. А потом уже пиши всю жизнь как бог на душу положит. (А. Рекемчук, Мальчики) — In all ordinary schools people are taught to write first using three lines with diagonals to keep the letters even, then two lines with diagonals, then you drop the diagonals and eventually advance to a single line. After that you can write any way you please.
