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. (10[1])Gottlob Frege (“FRAY-guh”) is often credited with starting the “turn” towards this concept that began analytic philosophy. The “beetle in the box” thought experiment was used to argue (10[1])that private examples (10[1])of this concept cannot exist by Ludwig Wittgenstein. (-5[1])A field that studies these systems has branches like (10[1])pragmatics and semantics. For 10 points, name these systems studied in linguistics. (10[2])■END■ (10[5]0[1])

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?”]
