All names, whether pr...Plato, "Cratylus"<br /><br /><i>All names, whether primary or secondary, are intended to show the nature of things; and the secondary, as I conceive, derive their significance from the primary. But then, how do the primary names indicate anything? And let me ask another question,—If we had no faculty of speech, how should we communicate with one another? Should we not use signs, like the deaf and dumb? The elevation of our hands would mean lightness—heaviness would be expressed by letting them drop. The running of any animal would be described by a similar movement of our own frames. The body can only express anything by imitation; and the tongue or mouth can imitate as well as the rest of the body. But this imitation of the tongue or voice is not yet a name, because people may imitate sheep or goats without naming them. What, then, is a name? In the first place, a name is not a musical, or, secondly, a pictorial imitation, but an imitation of that kind which expresses the nature of a thing; and is the invention not of a musician, or of a painter, but of a namer. <br /><br />And now, I think that we may consider the names about which you were asking. The way to analyze them will be by going back to the letters, or primary elements of which they are composed. First, we separate the alphabet into classes of letters, distinguishing the consonants, mutes, vowels, and semivowels; and when we have learnt them singly, we shall learn to know them in their various combinations of two or more letters; just as the painter knows how to use either a single colour, or a combination of colours. And like the painter, we may apply letters to the expression of objects, and form them into syllables; and these again into words, until the picture or figure—that is, language—is completed.</i>Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-89331134053331455502015-01-31T15:45:22.855-06:002015-01-31T15:45:22.855-06:00:P<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRhiFT2LUTc" rel="nofollow">:P</a>Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-37519736571155498102015-01-31T15:19:34.170-06:002015-01-31T15:19:34.170-06:00"SEMINAL" is the word I was hoping other..."SEMINAL" is the word I was hoping others would use.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-62116227763091893782015-01-31T15:17:20.491-06:002015-01-31T15:17:20.491-06:00Language -- like music -- is a DISCOVERY not an IN...Language -- like music -- is a DISCOVERY not an INVENTION.<br /><br />You could call it a DEVELOPMENT, but it' not properly an invention, because it EVOLVED naturally over many thousands of years.
