[lit-ideas] Re: Snow is white, and Grass is green (Collected Papers by Tarski)

Theorectical statements about language are about as useful as theorectical statements about the natives of unknown lands. Language isn't a logical set. Logical rules work for some statements, but not for others. If a statement is illogical, it doesn't mean it is wrong. Logic can be within language, but language is not within logic.
I wonder if we could have an example of an illogical statement—? Or or 'language philosophy.' 

Just wondering, really. So far all we've got is creeping fescue.

Cheers,

RP
