Manifesto

Definitions: they are the infrastructure of our linguistic lives, tons of cement buried beneath the ground floor of our everyday dwellings.

I have retrofitted the walls of this blog. What better to do with four identical walls than paint one blue... hide a biscuit in the corner... see what happens?

Wang & Spelke (2002) know exactly what happens, and the resultant “left of the blue wall” discussion (e.g. Radiolab, Words) suggests that language may be not simply bedrock, but part architecht, too.

Let's dig around in there. Let's shake shit up, and shake it back down again 'til it shines. There's a lot of quality in that sidebar there, so who knows... maybe at the end of the day we can work the wind after all.
