If we take a word (language) out of context, then he says that the language goes on a holiday. Each word or phrase should have an expressed meaning. Without meaning it is only a cacophony.
This is why philosophers only utter a few words but listen to everything said in front of them intentively.
One who cannot listen to an opinion with calm composure is not a philosopher but a opinionated politician.
Dialogue does not ensue.
Without dialogue humanity cannot progress.
That is the bottom line.
We used to have 2500.
It has come down to 2000 or less.
A dominant language kills many other languages. One should make sure one is proud of his or her own toungue.
At least one should use it at home and with kids. I am told one Professor of Sinhala made his children to speak in English at home.
Duplicity at root level.
