Supposed by whom?

Oh, Roy Harris comes to mind, but mainly because I was just reading an article of his in Linguistic Thought in England: 1914–1945. He mentions it in connection with the British philosopher G. E. Moore, but it's really just a fancy name for what happens during communication. I didn't say I believed it. I think communication is, at best, an epiphenomenon of parole. That's on my good days.

True, grapho, that is the unmarked intention, but I was just passing over it in silence.

Have you got some parole evidence for that?

Okay, I'll bite, jheem. What does "epiphenomenon of parole" mean?

I won't let you out on parole until you give me an answer.

See almost any of my postings on AWADtalk.

I am not allowed to peruse your other postings to ascertain your meaning as that is contrary to the parole evidence rule.

And I do like to stick to the rules ... as a rule.

We just use different rules. Perhaps it's a north-south of the 49th parallel kinda thang. Game and match.

Game and match

I'm always game for a match, jheem.

But I'm not always a match for my game.
[As Faldage has probably told you. But, please remember, Faldage judges all his own games ... so I still consider him fair game, whether he's up for the game or not. Just kiddin'. It's just a game for both of us. Well, I guess I can't speak for Faldage.]

Do you mean word of mouth, or spoken?

Parole in French means: spoken, to swear as in give your word or your oath, word of mouth, starting to speak.

So conceivable, we use what people say here as evidence only because they've said it.

Is that what you meant jheem?

bel:

Telementation appears to refer to a 'fixed-code theory of language,' or one which would guarantee a fixed meaning of a given writing or utterance, according to unalterable rules. jheem seems not to buy it. Or?

With reference to law, there is a dense, lengthy and (perhaps) tempting article on the subject at http://artsweb.bham.ac.uk/MToolan/languagemyth.htm
