Abstract

Statements and utterances s are not simply arbitrary labels attached to things. s go to the heart of things. A marine biologist, speaking of the whales whose songs he has recorded over ten seasons—how his s put us too on intimate terms with them! Thought that has dwelt long and intimately with a painting by Botticelli, a temple in Cambodia, a willow tree in one's back yard finds the right s with which to speak of them. The properties and behaviors of things are retained in s. With s we stay in touch with things. Because of s the real world lays open to us, beyond the narrow confines of what our eyes now see. s also present the speaker. 'Here I am! "I saw, I heard, I did ."I say, I tell you....' The T presents the speaker and maintains him or her present. When she utters 'I,' this goes back to the heart of the speaker. She impresses it upon herself, and retains it with all the substance of her reality that speaks. The speaker is committed to it, and the next time she utters 'I,' this subsequent T corresponds to and answers for the prior
