194 LANGUAGE

What is the relation, say, between language and contexts of language use? Meaning does not 'reside' in events: language (which is basic) creates events rhetorically. We have 'leaders' or 'bosses'; 'terrorists' or 'freedom fighters': not according to the situation's reality (as idealized a notion as 'truth') but according to a speaker's arbitrary choice of characterization. Art beliefs are like political beliefs insofar as they are overwhelmingly not based upon observation or empirical evidence available to participants, but rather upon cueings among groups of people (communities) who jointly create the meanings that they will read into current and anticipated events.
