The ability to control language imparts another capability, the control of reality itself, language creates reality. We are enslaved by the linguistic assignments of our culture.

  The Capacity of Thought and Meaning

  In 'The Meaning of the Body' Mark Johnson claims that 'Meaning and thought emerge from our capacities for perception, object manipulation, and bodily movement'. This means that the embodied, embedded, experiential engagement we have with the world provides the template for our organisation of knowledge in all its forms. Covert within Johnson's statement is the implied existence of a 'capacity' from which (or within which) such thought and meaning emerge. Following the logic of the schema, this capacity corresponds to the phenomenal presence of space that both contains and provides a context for thought and meaning. (abrupt ending due to dog fight)

  Noam Chomsky on NAFTA, Linguistics, Labor, Communism and Socialism (1993 - Part 2)

  December 10, 1993 www.amazon.com In 1988 Canada and the United States signed the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement after the US Congress approved implementing legislation. The American government then entered into negotiations with the Mexican government for a similar treaty, and Canada asked to join the negotiations in order to preserve its perceived gains under the 1988 deal. The international climate at the time favored expanding trade blocs, and the Maastricht Treaty which created the European Union was signed in 1992. A corporation is an institution that is granted a charter recognizing it as a separate legal entity having its own privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members. There are many different forms of corporations, most of which are used to conduct business. Linguistics is the scientific study of natural language. Linguistics encompasses a number of sub-fields. An important topical division is between the study of language structure (grammar) and the study of meaning (semantics and pragmatics). Grammar encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the rules that determine how words combine into phrases and sentences) and phonology (the study of sound systems and abstract sound units). Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds (phones), non-speech sounds, and how they are produced and perceived. Other sub-disciplines of linguistics include the ...

  The Poetry of the Impersonal

  Richard Dawkins said (somewhere) that 'science is the poetry of reality', and whilst I doubt if he really intended this to be a fact claim I am choosing to interpret it as such to see how far I can get with it. The 'reality' he talks about is obviously not the naive reality of sensory experience, the stuff we see when we look out of the portholes of our eyes, but is more like the reality that Philip K. Dick referred to when he said that 'reality is the stuff that doesn't go away when you stop believing in it'. It is those aspects of the universe which are impervious to personal preference or bias and seem to have an existence which is outside of human contact. I am choosing to think of this version of reality as 'impersonal' and is the data and theories of consensual scientific processes. The 'poetry' he mentions is slightly more complicated to get to. The way I am finding into this is associated with disciplines like cognitive linguistics, cognitive poetics, embodied philosophy etc, which understand the mind as essentially an engine of understanding that generates meaning using processes which have a lot in common with those used by poets. These would be tropes such as metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, irony, symbolism, figurative language of all sorts, as well as concerns for compression, metre, etc. Putting these two interpretations back into Dawkins aphorism, he could be interpreted as saying something to the effect that, 'science is the name we give to those consensual ...

  Bewitched Baffled and Bewildered

  Sometimes words and images and ideas just seem to be out there in space, waiting for me to walk over and pick them up. Most of the time though, different things seem to get in the way of my grasping the meaning in this simple transparent way. Sometimes I'm baffled, by which I mean that there seems to be some kind of filter or chicane between me and the idea, kind of like the baffles they have in a car exhaust to slow down and filter the gas coming out the back. At other times I'm more bewildered, when I seem to be invited into the the meaning but when I'm in there I get lost, sidetracked and referred backwards and forwards, emerging somewhere completely different to where I imagined. I feel completely blocked and shut out by some presentations, as if I'm facing a brick wall or a screen, which might be crap or might be interesting, depending on what I can project onto it. Lastly I might be drawn into the play of ideas and words and images and when I get in there I realise that there is no way out, no object of knowledge that lies at the far side of this labyrinth, and the meanings and words just keep me spinning around like some sufi for ages and ages.
