Question

Constructs named for this concept were first demonstrated with an example where pillars, slabs, and beams are passed between a builder and his assistant. (10[1])A focus on everyday instances of this concept characterizes an “ordinary” philosophical method followed by J. L. Austin. Gottlob Frege (“FRAY-guh”) is often credited with starting the “turn” towards this concept that began (10[1])analytic philosophy. The “beetle in the box” thought experiment (10[1])was used to argue that private examples (10[1])of this concept cannot exist by (10[1])Ludwig Wittgenstein. A field that studies these systems has branches like pragmatics and semantics. (10[1])For 10 points, name these (10[1])systems (10[1])studied in linguistics. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: languages [accept private languages; accept language games or sprachspiel; accept ordinary language philosophy; prompt on linguistics or linguistic turn before “linguistics” is read by asking “linguistics studies what concepts?”; prompt on games by asking “the games are named for what concept?”]
