Now there are various possibilities for
the
ourch
[a|l]anguage game ˇ◇◇◇ (47), various cases in which we should say a sign names ˇindicates in the game ˇindicates a square of such and such a colour. We [sh|w]ould say this,
e.g.
for instance
, if we knew that the people who use this language were taught the how to use of the sign in such and such a way. Or if [t|i]t were laid down in writing, say in the form of a table, that this elements corres corresponds to this si[ng|gn], and if this table were used in teaching

teaching the language and were brought in [o|t]o decide certain disputed points. – But we
can
c
imagine also that ˇsuch a table of this sort is
an
a regular
instrument in the use ˇpractice of the language. The description of a complex takes place thus in this way:
h
The person
describing
a
the
complex carries
the
a
table with him, looks up in it each element ˇin it of the complex and passes in the table from the elem[t|e]nt to [h|t]he sign (and the person to whom the description is given may also use a table to translate the words of it ˇthe description into the sight ˇpictures of ˇthe coloured squares.) We might say that th[e|is] table ˇhere assumes the role here
which
that
is played in other cases by memory and association. (We [sh|w]ould not in generally carry out
an
the
order, “Bring me a red flower”, by looking up the colour ˇcalled red in a
colour-atlas
colour table
and then bringing a flower of the colour that we f[i|o]und in the table; but if it is ˇit was a question of we have to selecting, or mixing, a particular shade of red, then it
may
does sometimes
happen that we
we do make use of a sample or a table.)
      If we call such a table the expression of a rule of the language game, then
we
one
can say that what we call a rule of
a
the
lan language game can
play
have
very different roles in the game.
