If we say: “every word of the language denotes something”, – then, so far, nothing at all has been said || we've said nothing at all; || , that is, unless we explain precisely what distinction we wish to make. (It might be that we wanted || wished to distinguish the words of our language (9 || 11) from “nonsense” words such as || words ‘without meaning’ which occur in Lewis Carroll's poems.)
