Language promises the users of language, those creatures who we refer to as Homo Sapiens. What we are here concerned with are the promises that language makes in communication. Language promises us that we shall retain the ability to explore, excogitate, and express the world without us and the world within us. With only twenty-six letters in an alphabet, language promises a speaker of the English language that he can iterate and express an infinite number of ideas and observations concerning the world around him. Through this expression, language gives us the only sure immortality that we can know.
Language is the great taxidermist of the human epocha .
Man Immortal Language in the written word promises that any question that Homo Sapiens concerns himself with will be archived for posterity. The evidence of his working through a problematic issue will forever be accessible to his brother who will then affirm, deny, or continue his exploration into the topic. As Homo Sapiens continues to work through the problematic issue, he will add his observations and thus contribute to the human collective. Language promises that Homo Sapiens will be able to continue this knowledge relay, providing him the baton with which to pass on his efforts. I am in no way required to re-discover for myself what carpenters, plumbers, and roofers have for centuries already known about making a house.
