Abstract

Proposes taht, while it is not impossible that people will be able to communicate directly in ordinary language, it is highly unlikely that this will ever be achieved. Applies the ideas of Martin Heidegger to show that language is not normally used for the exchange of information but calls to attention some aspect of the world the language users already share. Considers the implications for artificial intelligence researchers
