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. A focus on everyday instances of this concept characterizes (-5[1])an “ordinary” philosophical method followed by J. L. Austin. Gottlob Frege (“FRAY-guh”) is often credited with starting the “turn” (-5[1])towards this concept (-5[1])that (10[1])began analytic philosophy. The “beetle in the box” thought experiment was used to argue that private examples of this concept (10[2])cannot exist by Ludwig Wittgenstein. (10[1])A field that studies these systems has branches like pragmatics and semantics. For 10 points, name these systems studied in linguistics. ■END■ (10[3])

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?”]
