Apart from the fact that it seems to have killed the conversation, the mover of this thread has failed to account for the fact that the OPer was specifically asking about the limitations of language in relation to how IT could deal with the fundamentals of philosophical thought. As such, the focus was upon language in relation to philosophy. As such, the floor should be open to philosophers to debate this linguistic problem.
Another bad call, I think.
Thank you, the basic question for language can be seen as a linguistic problem, but we are talking about the original question of language.
It is not easy to doubt my mother language, and I donnot know whether the decision of god to make englsih say english and chinese say chinese is a decision based on philosophical thought. So if a language is a mistake and there is a god here, it must be his job. And why I am putting so much attention to the job of god, what I can say is I can not pay attention to the other questions.
