Words are saturated with time. We are saturated with words for we are temporal beings. Language is not merely a system of semiotics, it doesn't merely represent the world. Rather it constructs it, performs it, creates it and destroys it. It morphs aspects of our reality and forces them to filter through its phonetic and conceptual prisms. If language performs, then the dictionary of all possible words is the cosmos. Welcome to the world of language, the reality in which we live...

Reality of Earth

Yes, happily language is a thing; it is a written thing, a bit of

earth continues to exist

Circles

Language. It is a circle.

An Effect of Language

Whether it is said in one or many ways, being is something that is
said. It may well be the horizon of every. Other evidence, but it
becomes a philosophical problem only when we begin to talk about it,
and it is precisely our talking about it that makes it ambiguous and
polyvocal. The fact that this ambiguity can be reduced does not alter
the fact that we become aware of it only through speech. As it is
thinkable, being manifests itself to us right from the outself as an
effect of language"

Umberto Eco

Intimate Relations

Language is intimately a part of us, and also not a part of us at
all....
