Language is not medium through which we, the subject, interact with the world, the object. That is an illusion brought on by the syntax of our own grammar. Language is not symbols, language is a series of metaphors. "Comprehension" is an illusive concept called a metaphor. A metaphor is an arbitrary concept, a word, used to define or give meaning to something without actually relating in any tangible way to the object. Often its a sound, which is later made into a symbol. Language is the evolution of our metaphors, its highly specific and individualized in one sense and completely social in another. Don't be confused by the poor metaphors of early philosophers and scientists. Infantile amnesia? Clearly we're talking about the same process, except my interpretation isn't trying to masquerade its arbitrary association by hiding behind scientific nomenclature. As if somehow science was "truth". I'm trying to give you a metaphor which will work in the context of language. "Stove...Hot = don't touch" You make it seem as if "stove...hot" is somehow outside of language (yet clearly you used words) and "don't touch" is within language? Thats not the case, as evident in the fact that you couldn't describe any of that so called "comprehension" without language. What do you think? You don't think in a language? Of course you do!
