11096	Discourse generally departmentalizes itself to some degree [Quine]
	Full Idea: Discourse generally departmentalizes itself to some degree.
	From: Willard Quine (Identity, Ostension, and Hypostasis [1950], 2)
	A reaction: I pick this out because I think it is important. There is a continually shifting domain in any conversation ('what we are talking about'), and speech cannot be understand if the shifting domain or department has not been grasped.
