Do Language Patterns generate Pattern Languages or vice versa?
Language Patterns are the basic patterns of human language. Noam Chomsky is one of the leading experts on human language, and he has pointed to the recursive and generative aspects of human language as symbol processing activity.
Symbol processing enables Thinking and communication as a form of Social Action.
The essential characteristic of language may be that it creates differences that make a difference. And in communication in its essential characteristics, language creates I, You, and We: what is mine, what is yours, what is ours, and what is theirs.
Once established what is yours and what is mine, language differentiates what is more important: are you more important than I am, or am I more important than you are? Is your position different from mine, is your position more important than mine, or vice versa?
And what do these differences mean for the importance of my symbolic processing or yours? And who is right or not (already a dichotomous simplification)?
And if I say I am right and you are not, does this differentiate what I said as more important than what you said, even if it is not true?
Whatever the answer (yes or no), answering the question inevitably means that the narrative is set in the conversation. It may be controlled and differentiated as the leading one, or the only true and good one. Then Ideology enters the stage, and Oppression begins.
And it does not matter whether the ideology is capitalist, liberalist, socialist or Marxist. It is seizing the leading narrative, so easily generated by language use that sets the scene (litterally). All ideologies do it.
All humans do it.
All language does it.
Joseph K. was denounced and arrested because of it, even if he had done nothing wrong.
