Is language just a communication tool?

June 9, 2005

Fancy a little challenge? The title of this entry is the topic of the philosophy exam in this year's Bac. I want your essays on my desk tomorrow morning. Mine, in 1990, was "Is art work or leisure?". I loved it.

So, what did you argue for - work or leisure? :-)
Or perhaps a compromise between the two?

Is art work or leisure? Yes.

Work! The word "compromise" wasn't part of my vocabulary when I was 17.

Is language just a communication tool? No, it's a floor wax *and* a dessert topping!

(That's from an old Saturday Night Live routine, in case you haven't become acquainted with that piece of Americana.)
