Abstract
In this paper I shall try to sketch a new picture of language which, though still untried, seems to be of wider significance: I want to talk of the way in which language is stratified into ‘layers’. In order to approach my subject I can do no better than to delineate some recent stages in the development of philosophy.
In writing the two articles which make up this chapter Waismann was very conscious of exploring new territory and was never satisfied with them. Unfortunately he was not able to carry out the revisions which he wished to make.
