Abstract

Language is an unknown land of tricky delights. Words are used not only to mean this or that, but also to suggest multiple significations. To obscure as much as they reveal. To evoke as much as to state and demonstrate. To be ambivalent and multivalent. However hard humans have tried over the centuries to tailor language to the demands of different disciplines (the broadest one being “the arts” and the “sciences”), there are writers who delight in crossing borders.
