Did you know the concept of 'game' transcends mere play? Philosophers like Wittgenstein explored it as a lens for understanding language and rules, reshaping debates on meaning and communication. (Q17631654) #LanguageGames #PhilosophyOfLanguage
A blue Magic: The Gathering-style parody card titled Constructivist Lens. The artwork depicts a geometric, machine-like face composed of blue and copper parts, a fusion of cubism and mechanical drafting. The card is labelled as an Artifact with the ability: “Tap: Replace any keyword on a permanent with a metaphor of your choice until the end of the turn.” The flavour text quotes Richard Rorty: “Knowledge is not a copy of reality but a tool for coping with it.” The overall effect satirises philosophy, language, and game mechanics, blending the absurd seriousness of both.
Artifact drop: Constructivist Lens.
Tap to rewrite your ontology as metaphor. Because “truth” was always a house rule.

New workshop on using tabletop games to teach and learn Italian scheduled for the Fall - and after Scotland in May, this invite comes from another place on my bucket list. So exciting! 😆
Hint in the map!

The discussion explored games like "hink pink" (rhyming pairs, e.g., "large barge") & rhyming slang. Participants shared variations, highlighting the widespread appeal of these structured linguistic puzzles. #LanguageGames 2/6

The game is really good, and works well with both settings. I have asked the student to create an online hub for the Italian materials and make them available.
Stay tuned.

Language is a game, ever shifting, context-dependent, and endlessly creative. Every conversation writes its own rules. #LanguageGames #Monday #Curiosity

Wittgensteins: The Critics
"Is language just a tool or a social practice?". Wittgenstein challenged traditional ideas, but critics ask: Does his theory lack structure or overemphasise context?I now explore his the limits of his legacy.

If you read Italian, a great piece on games that include and reflect on language(s), its meaning, use, and symbolism.
Great to read about Rosetta and Dialect along with Heaven's Vault and Chants of Sennaar.
