Response to readings from Sept. 22

Do you agree that language really does not identify things or objects? What would be an alternative to this then if you agree?

I don't know of anything else that really can identify an object. i guess language does a good job at describing the object, but there is no other way that you can identify it other than with language. you can't really use other objects to identify it, therefore your only resort is to use language. Like, if you were going to try and identify what a 'bicycle' is, you can't use another object to describe it, and even then you run into problems of identifying what that object is too. language really is the best way for identifying objects.
