Inferentialism and Communication: Language and the Code Table Problem
Original language description
Many linguists and philosophers of language take for granted that language is a code; and hence that it is liable to what can be called the code table problem: To communicate via a code, we need a code table; but to be able to agree on a code table, we need to communicate. This paper argues that if we free ourselves from this received wisdom, we might be able to better understand not only how language works in communication, but also how it might have come into being. The alternative conception of language put forward in this article is that of inferentialism: linguistic communication is not seen in terms of encoding/decoding, but rather in terms of making moves within a space that is opened up by the rules of our language, providing for certain brandnew kind of human actions: meaningful pronouncements.
