I find this fascinating but can't help remembering la langue bleu, Solrisol,
wherein every utterance could be played as well as said. Whence Frank Ramsey's article on Wittgenstein's Tractatus: "What can't be said, can't be said -- and it can't be whistled either." (Carnap may have been the last person to know enough of the language to give an example at one point in a class.) |
