| Abstract: | [The limits of language] Human language has been always in the situation to face new and new requirements. In this respect, the use of some prostheses was unavoidable. Before writing, some visual prostheses were necessary. The whole human body was used in communication but also some additional means. Typography with Gutenberg and the use of paper produced a mutation in the evolution of language. Then, the introduction of an artificial component of the mathematical language, with Descartes, Galileo, Newton and Leibniz, was another significant moment in the evolution of scientific language. The appearance of non-Euclidean geometries and of relativity theory called attention on the fact that human language is at home only in the macroscopic universe, where we use the logic of identity, non-contradiction and excluded middle and where a sharp distinction exists between Subject and Object. Human language is in crisis in the quantum universe too, as Niels Bohr pointed out. Prostheses in this respect don’t yet have a clear status. Cognitive models and metaphors have a chance. We also use the fact that the move from macroscopic to non-macroscopic is gradual, so by means of some asymptotic processes we can approximate wht happens in the non-macroscopic worlds. |
