but that is very loose definition of language, if your fleeting thought (of say legality of move in chess or that putting this many holes in the chair is structurally unsound) requires 10 words to express it (this side of “fuck this” in chess language), i don’t think it’s real language first, it’s your idea you can translate into english in so many words, but it’s not like cluster of words arising in your brain (or is it?).
god isn’t this fun? it’s really wack since language =/= writing, so i’m uncomfortable designating ‘chess language’ as not language just cause you can’t write it down, right? we’re basically the comic of two people looking at the 6/9 on the ground lol
