An Analogy Between Language and Game

Summary/Abstract: Language, regarded as the foundation of human culture, was analysed over time from many directions, all these aproaches giving us the opportunity to apreciate its complexity.The article is an excerpt from a larger research that is based on the analogy between language and game, since the game is the way of expresion of human nature, while being important for understanding the facts of culture. The research analyzes the game less in terms of language’s philosophy and more in terms of verbal, genuine, spontaneous interactions.Since language is not a static product, but a technique that creates new facts, this idea allows linguists to assign language the main features of the game - free activity, placed under the sign of creativity, defined by a set of rules which are applied in a given context.
