198 LANGUAGE

In a discussion of Wittgenstein's use of 'language games', Rush Rhees points out that to try and account for the meaningfulness of a language solely in terms of isolated language games is to omit the important fact that ways of speaking are not insulated from one another in mutually exclusive systems of rules. What can be said in one context by the use of a certain expression depends for its sense on the uses of that expression in other contexts (i.e. different language games).
