According to some, language is literally all that there is. According to others, it<br />

reflects, more or less adequately, what there is. What seems certain is that we use it<br />

prolifically in creating and changing our momentary values and that in seeking to<br />

understand language, we are seeking to understand the cornerstone of the human<br />

mentality.<br />
