(making a ‘language atlas’?)
constructs of universals / transformational grammars: that have nothing of substance to say about the prodigality of language atlas

my interest in the ajayeb is due to the traces it provides into verbal literacy, a living vulgar language, rather than a dead structure such as mantegh al teir Attar (Mantiq-ut-Tayr).

..vanishing languages and people, their history and morphological structures uncharted, dim into the oblivion, each takes with it a storehouse of consciousness.

An image of man as a language animal of implausible variety and waste.

Cultures (during Attar's?) seem to expend on their vocabulary and syntax acquisitive energies and ostentations entirely lacking in their material lives.
[very interesting point regarding the language of mysticism, Attar and others.]

language riches seem to act as compensatory mechanisms. (having 60 different words in Shahnameh for signifying ‘horse’, doesn't necessitates the material variety of horse in the ancient Iranian culture?)
--starving bands of Amazonian Indians may lavish on their condition more verb tenses than could Plato.

Is my language, or lack of speaking certain languages, a powerful obstacle to the material and social progress of me?
--withering inward by language barriers. Linguistically atomized

interaction of physical and spiritual agencies...
The nominalist mechanism of creation: each time man spoke he re-enacted, he mimed.

(...the early forms and feelings of consciousness in human ancestral pasts)

my reading or performance includes scrutinising configuration of letters and inverting words.

Bad translations communicate too much, limited to what is non-essential in the fabric of the original, missing the bond of meaning.

If translation is a form, then the condition of translatability must be ontologically necessary to certain works.

Metaphysics of translation

translation is profoundly philosophic, ethical, and magical. It imports source of life. Alchemy, must retain a vital strangeness and ‘otherness’.

My translation, an interlinear version of the script, a virtual archetype of translation

obsessive awareness of the opaqueness of language, Kafka's continuous parable on the impossibility of genuine human communication. The impossibility of not writing, the impossibility of writing in German, of writing differently.

Presence of interpreters in the building site, Kafka, literature house

in Kafka, great wall = mosaic law ?

Only if men could use language without perusing meaning to the forbidden edge of the absolute.

Alpha & Aleph

...is certain to encompass ‘some terrible meaning’ in one of its secret languages

‘a poetic vocabulary of concepts’
‘connections or affinities’
pursuit of an inter-lingua for philosophic discourse

not to contemplate a mechanical transcription of the original

history, the mother of truth.
To define history not as an inquiry into reality, but as it's origin.
Menard, William James

translator's ‘mysterious duty’

if needed, i am anyone

language mysticism studies

...primitive seek expression through ‘imaginative universals’, this rapidly acquired a ‘infinite particularity’

it is only by means of essentially poetic recreation or translation of a given language-world that the new science of myth and history can hope to retrace the growths of consciousness

in apass, inventing a science of myth and history, towards a general theory of significant sign.

Corruption of language and decline of body politics?

Can we correlate the Persian syntax with the metaphysical ambience, internal divisions, and lyric bias of Persian people?

A pivot point must inform and relate

...the shaping agencies of intellect.
Speech is poiesis and human linguistic articulation is centrally creative.

The language-matrix

language, informed by energies proper to itself, more comprehensive and timeless than any who makes use of it...

There is a phenomenon of linguistic Entfremdung inseparable from the creative genius of the word. (Humboldt)

...conjectures with prophetic brilliance

discourse (Rede) would not be muffled by the ground---we walk erect

jede Sprache ist ein Versuch---trial
(Humboldt)
different languages penetrate to different depths

Literaturehaus, hause has always been a metaphor for consciousness

cryptotypr : categories of semantic organization
which translates the underlying metaphysics of a language into its overt or surface grammar.

...understanding of those deep-seated dynamics of meaning, of chosen and significant form, (that make up a culture)

it is exceedingly difficult for an outsider to, operating inevitably within the world-frame of his own tongue, to penetrate to the active symbolic depths of a foreign tongue.
---we reach for the bottom and stir up further darkness.

..a careful philosophically and poetically disciplined observation

beautifully logical (discrimination) about: causation, action, result
dynamic or energetic quality, directness of experience.
(these words for Shabnam?)
...all matters of the function of thinking
(why do i want to bring to her, to Shabnam, the quintessence of the rational?)

‘the inner music of meaning’

the german tenderness
german tender---zart

(in Shabnam's poetry : the clash between ‘mental’ and ‘psychic’ codes of recognition)

the villain is outside the law (of exchange)

...the court of words---in ikhvano safa animals demonstration
...when the market of life has closed down

faith and substitution of meaning

how can i tear you from your vows, and not myself use vows?
The faiths that are sworn (before every exchange or change)

law directs the circulation of goods. What does it mean for an object oriented thought?
Law directs the circulation of goods, women, promise; of representations, insults, jests

i, as the text of sina, will show you that...

An ordering relation is irreflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive

sequential to consequential
(the concern of narrative)
order of reason (one order among many other sequences)
reason has immense consequences, so does aesthetics

betterable better : finding a stronger one---Kelileh Demneh
the case is of a maximum
the tree of the “better”
a whole forest hidden by a single tree
‘possibility’ is always the higher point on the tree

if you kill me now, my time freezes and its order disappears.
(said sheep to the wolf)
relative relations and absolute limit; he is the master of future

where do you come from? : this is of your clan : irreversible genealogical tree : complete model of kinship (for the ordered structure)

the idea of non-destruction is strange in nature, as if there is a notion of construction in nature, establishes a responsibility.
Care, claims to have suffer

at the end; you are the cause, i am the effect.

Perfect, is free of the psychologism of hypocrisy
•hypocrisy comes from the word to judge

stable structures and dialectical processes are inseparable
(each choice associated with a location on the tree)

(best) reason always permits a winning game (?)

might into right and obedience into duty, that is transforming force into factual necessity, by the stronger. Obedience into law. This is Rousseau
