2. ENS 501G English Phonetics II English Phonetics II In linguistics, as you would expect, we talk about language quite a lot. Normally, language does not talk about itself. Georg Gadamer, in "Man and Language", has suggested that one of the essential properties of language is that its users are ideally unaware of it. In discussing the price of petrol, people are usually unaware of the words they are speaking and hearing – the train of ideas occupies their conscious minds, or at least the concepts involved are manifested at a higher level of consciousness than the linguistic forms. But when discussing and writing about linguistics we are applying language to itself, and the train of ideas consciously moves into areas which are normally unconscious. This produces some interesting effects.
