Question

A paper partly titled for one of these constructs uses the example of someone talking about a cat named Bruce in Princeton and one named Albert in New Zealand to lead to a “rule of accommodation for comparative salience.” The thinker who coined (-5[1])the name for these constructs gave the example of using the letters R, G, W, and B to describe the colors of nine squares in a grid. “Narrative knowledge” (10[1])and “scientific knowledge” reduce to these constructs according to Jean-François Lyotard’s The Postmodern (-5[1])Condition. These constructs are compared to baseball (10[1])in a paper (10[2])partly titled (-5[1])for them (10[1])by David Lewis. (10[1]-5[2])These constructs (10[1]-5[1])were introduced with the example (-5[1])of a builder who says words like “pillar” (10[2]-5[1])and “slab” (10[1])to his assistant. For 10 points, name these rule-bound (10[1])interplays (10[1])between (10[1])utterances and actions, a key concept in late Wittgenstein. ■END■ (10[8]0[4])

ANSWER: language games [or Sprachspiele; prompt on language; prompt on game] (The David Lewis paper is “Scorekeeping in a Language Game.”)
