Rorty II 130f
Positivists/Rorty: replace "experience", "ideas", "consciousness" by the concept "language" - then primary qualities are no longer more closely related to reality than secondary ones (VsLocke) but it was this precise thesis that was resurrected by Kripke’s revolution against Wittgenstein (KripkeVsLinguistic Turn).
>Positivism, >Linguistic turn, >Consciousness, >Ideas, >Experience.

III 335
Language/Davidson: "Davidson’s criterion": a language must not have an infinite number of basic concepts. Kripke: otherwise it cannot be the "first language".
Cf. >Language acquisition.
III 338
KripkeVsDavidson: we just have to demand that only a finite number of axioms includes "new" vocabulary (weaker).
>Axioms/Kripke.
III 397
Language/infinite/Kripke: if the domain D is countable, the infinite sequences which can be formed from its objects are non-countable and therefore cannot be mapped on to D one-to-one. They can therefore ((s) in the meta language) not even be coded and therefore not be reduced.
>Meta language.
Even then there may be nothing in the vocabulary of the meta language that is sufficient.
>Are there infinitely many possible sentences?.
