§18

Wittgenstein gives some kind of an answer to the question raised earlier about whether the 'language' in §2 counts as a language. At the very least we should not be put off by the fact that it only consists of orders. Our own language has come to incorporate new symbolisms/notations. - Language is 'fluid' - it can come to incorporate new language games or old language games can become obsolete.
