[MD] So cometh MOQ, what next?

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Craig]
In fact, I think things are getting better.

[Arlo]
Oh, I agree. But because we are better in some ways, does not mean we are better
in all. And it also does not mean we should be content and strive for
improvement.

[Craig]
On the liguistic side, you see language as constraining the possibilities of
what we think.  I see language as providing for the maximum possible ways of
thinking.

[Arlo]
Just for point, I don't see language as simply constraining. Following the work
of Archer or Giddens, I find language "structurating", which implies BOTH
affordances and constraints. And, just to clarify, when I say "discourse", I'm
referring to the meanings created by words, through human interactions, I don't
believe in an abstract "language". In fact, I consider language and culture to
be intertwined in a sort of "linguaculture". That's why I prefer "discourse" to
"language". But that's another story.
