If || Suppose I say
now || Now suppose I say:
“my || the
broom is standing in the corner”, is this really a statement
about the broom handle || stick and
the brush?
At any rate, one
might || may surely
substitute for
the || this
statement || it one which
described || described
the position of the broom
handle || stick and the position of
the brush.
And this statement is surely a further || more
fully analysed form of the first one. || surely this statement is
now further analysed. –
But why do I call it “further analysed”?
– 44 ¤
Well, if the broom is over there, then
surely that means that the
handle || broomstick and the brush
must be there and that they must be in definite positions with
reference || a particular relative position to one another;
and this was as it were concealed in
the meaning of the sentence before || before, as it were, concealed in
the meaning of the sentence, and in the analysed
form || sentence it is
expressed || said.
Then does the person who says the broom is
standing in the corner mean really || So the person who says the
broom is standing in the corner really means that the
handle || broomstick and the brush
are || are standing there and
that the
handle || broomstick is sticking in
the brush?
If we were to
ask || asked someone whether he meant
that || this,
he would probably say that he just hadn't thought about the
handle || broomstick in particular
or about the brush in particular.
And
that || this
would be the right answer,
because || for he
wanted to speak neither
about the broom handle nor || didn't want to speak about either
the broomstick or about the brush in particular.
Supposeyou were to say to someone, instead of
“Bring me the broom”, || , instead of
“Bring me the broom”, you were to
say || said to someone “Bring me the
broom
handle || broomstick and the brush
that || which is attached to
it”.
Isn't the answer to
this, || : “Do you want the
broom? And why do you express that in such an
absurd || put it in this queer
way?” || And
why take such an absurd way of saying
so?” –
Will he understand the more fully analysed
sentence better, then || So will he understand the sentence better
in its analysed form? –
This sentence – one || we
might say – accomplishes the same as the ordinary
sentence || one, but by a more
troublesome || tortuous route. –
Imagine a language game in which someone
was || is given orders to
bring certain things made
up of several parts, or to move them about, or something of the
sort || etc.. || fetch or to move about
certain objects which are composed of various parts.
And two methods of playing it: in the one a) the complex
things (brooms, chairs, tables etc.) have names, as
in (19); in the other b) only the parts
have names and the whole is described by
aid || means of them. –
To what extent || In what
way is an order of || in the second game
an analysed form of an order in the
first || an order in the first analysed?
Is the former
embedded || contained in the latter || second
embedded || contained in the first and is it
45
extracted || brought out by
analysis? –
Certainly, you take the broom to pieces || the
structure of the broom is revealed
if || when you separate the
handle || broomstick
from || and the brush; but does
the command to bring the brush
consist || it follow that the command to bring the brush
consists therefore of corresponding parts?
