The relation
between name & object.
Language game of builder.
What is the relation between names & actions
, names
& shapes? The relation of ostensibly
defining.
That
's to say in order to establish a name
relation we have to establish a technique of use. And
we are misled if we think, that it is
the || a
peculiar process of christening an object which makes a word the
word for an object. This is a kind of superstition.
So it's no use saying that we have a private object
before the mind & give it a name. There is a name
only where there is
4
a technique of using it & that
technique can be private; but this only means that nobody but I know
about it in the sense in which I can have a private sewing
machine. But in order to be a private sewing machine, it
must be
a
sewing machine || an object which
would deserve || deserves
that name || the name ‘sewing machine’ not
in virtue of its privacy but in virtue of its similarity to
sewing machines private or otherwise.
