(j = x 2 would be of the first kind, j^x2 of the second.)

Next we put a passage before him and he reads it, pronouncing every letter as we have taught him.

You have no model of this superlative fact, but you are seduced into using a super-expression.

Of course, one can reduce the description of the use of the word 'slab' to the statement that this word signifies this object.

Are they then so alike that one might mix them up?—But I can also recognize a man from a drawing straight off.—Well, but can I ask: 'What does a correct image of this colour look like?' or 'What sort of thing is it?'; can I learn this?

—— Now look at the mark an(^ let a sound occur to you as you do so; utter it.

Just as I don't name anyone when I groan with pain.

Someone who did not understand our language, a foreigner, who had fairly often heard someone giving the order: 'Bring me a slab!', might believe that this whole series of sounds was one word corresponding perhaps to the word for 'building-stone' in his language.

.?' —So there is a reaction at a certain moment and it is explained by saying 'I thought of.

And the processes of naming the stones and of repeating words after someone might also be called language-games.

That is the sort of answer you would get.

And one can recall the explanation of the strange relationship between Siegfried and Brunhilde in the new Nibelungenlied.

By means of such an explanation, the Beltane Festival would indeed lose all of its mysterious character if it did not itself deviate from such ordinary games of robbers, etc.

Now do I understand this teaching?—Of course I understand it——I can imagine plenty of things in connexion with it.

If on the other hand we use 'reading' to stand for a certain experience of transition from marks to spoken sounds, then it certainly makes sense to speak of the first word that he really read.

Ask yourself: On what occasion, for what purpose, do we say this?

And we may not advance any kind of theory.

Let us imagine language game (48) altered so that names signify not monochrome squares but rectangles each consisting of two such squares.

This would not be absurd, because one has no notion in advance where to look for teeth in a rose.

And how do I know that it doesn't mislead me?

3.001 'A state of affairs is thinkable': what this means is that we can picture it to ourselves.

and you don't take just any idea of a time of day as yielding the correct time!—To repeat: I asked myself 'I wonder what time it is?' That is, I did not, for example, read this question in some narrative, or quote it as someone else's utterance;
