Twentieth century language
 

Bernstein notes "multiple contemporaneous discoveries [...] of and in language [during] the first decades of the twentieth century"
 
"the discovery of the plasticity of language in the visual arts of the cubists and constructivists; the discovery of the language of the unconscious in Freud and the language of relativity in Einstein; the recognition of the use value of language in Wittgenstein and, why not?, the nonuse value of language in Stein"
