discussion questions second reading

1. What are some of the common things in life that we overlook? Why is it important that we do not do so?

2. "Only language tries to tell us what we see. Language does not simply, or even actually, identify things. Rather, language itself raises the question of definition." What does the author mean by that language does not "identify" things? Do you agree/disagree?

3. "For us, language is full of culture and history, but it is also full of ambition and enigma." What is your opinion about characteristics of language and its landscape?
