| Citazioni | [...] the typical linguistic element labels a concept. It does not follow from this that the use to which language is put is always or even mainly conceptual. Any concept that asks for expression must submit to the classificatory rules of the game, just as there are statistical surveys in which even the most convinced atheist must perforce be labeled Catholic, Protestant, or Jew or get no hearing. |
