 The Origin of Geometry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Whence the origin appears, we pass from one language to another, the language said to be natural presupposes a dialectical schema, and this schema, drawn or written in the sand, as such, is the first of the geometric idealities.
There we have an easy passage between the natural language and the new language, a passage which can be carried out on the multiple condition that we take into consideration two different languages, two different writing systems and their common ties.
Here no language is unknown or undecipherable, no side of the stone causes problems; what is in question is the edge common to the two sides, their common border; what is in question is the stone itself.

Each level of information functions as an unconscious for the global level bordering it, as a closed or relatively isolated system in relationship to which the noise-information couple, when it crosses the edge, is reversed and which the subsequent system decodes or deciphers.
In each link of the series the question of language is formulated and reformulated by the transformation of the message, the channel, and the noise: by translation.
The body is an extraordinarily complex system that creates language from information and noise, with as many mediations as there are integrating levels, with as many changes in sign for the function which just occupied our attention.

The metaphor of family trees for the relation among languages is a commonplace during the centuries before Darwin.
From the context, it appears that what Burton means by the "grafting" metaphor is a milder version of what creolists would mean by talking about a semitic lexifier on an "indigenous" substrate.
That is, he sees the four cited languages as "sisters", but does not see their relationship to Arabic in terms of the slightly more distant "family connection" of Afro-asiatic, as more recent scholars would, but instead sees only contact effects at different time depths.

 Table of Contents and Excerpt, Fitz, Sexuality and Being in the Poststructuralist Universe of Clarice Lispector
Dealing relentlessly with the play of language in the construction of our varied identities, Lispector's narratives illustrate how the basically ontological and epistemological problems posed by poststructural thought appear when they are developed in the context of the human experience by a gifted creative writer rather than by abstract theoreticians.
Given the complexity of these issues, Lispector's reader is forced to confront her narratives from a number of interrelated critical and philosophical perspectives, among which the issue of language, in its peculiar relationship to both knowing (epistemology) and being (ontology), emerges as the decisive factor.
It is this self-consciously conflictive attitude about the relationship between language, being, and meaning that animates Lispector's singular style, and that lies, restively, behind her sense of her own work as constituting a "humble quest" to for something that lies forever beyond it.

 Poststructuralism
Tel Quel was committed to bringing about the collapse of the idea that language is either instrumental or decorous.
So Barthes can say “Literature is alone today in bearing the entire responsibility of language.”  This would be because all other discourses fail to reflect on their being discourses.
  If the only part of language we were interested in was its function as statement then we’d all be scientists, predicating objects of all kinds with qualities, attributes and causes and declaring statements true or false or even establishing conditions according to which truth and falsity could be guaranteed.
