To imagine a language is to imagine a vivid form of life, Ludwig Wittgenstein once argued persuasively in his Philosophical Investigations. Whether you agree with him or not, what Wittgenstein observed -- the interrelation between language and life -- has, without a rupture, been one of the most intensive socio-historical and philosophical investigations in modern times.
Philosophers, socio-cultural theorists and psychologists analyse the relation between the two predominantly for the search of a possible link between language and the construction of thought.
Outside this analytical plane is where our focus lies -- on a practice that is fundamentally non-analytic. There are those who have long interlocked life and language in their day-to-day practice prior to the arrival of Wittgenstein's Investigations; or even The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
