Why should you defer to Klaus' views on language, which seems to me suspect? Language is partly inherited, but also partly designed, shaped, modified. The oxford dictionary adds new words all the time, and Gunther Kress, precisely on the basis of our Design of word-signs, appeals for a new semiotics. My son misuses, and hence rehapes words to mean what he intends to communicate all the time, and by and by, his education will make him a sign user, and destroy the designer. ________________________________________ Hi Klause I would defer to your understanding of language. I have an ongoing interest in how imagination—images—and language interact in the design process (inquiry and action). Sometime over a beer I would like to talk with you about design as capacitation and design as communication and how they are connected.
