Conversations are typically characterized by the fact
that the patient can answer politely without knowing what he is saying, to
words the meaning of which he has not grasped. The formal quantitative
grammatical theory of conversation, instead, which puts himself outside the
horizon of meaning and focuses on the text’s indicators, explains perfectly
well not only the actual formal profile of a single conversation but also
the differences between successive conversations of the same patient. (An
example, my mother’s conversation, will clearly explained what has been said
above). |
