§92
There is a problem with thinking that the essence of language is hidden from us.
Wittgenstein says, "We ask: 'what is language?' 'what is a proposition?' And the answer to these questions is to be given once for all and independently of any future experience."
The suggestion is that this approach is mistaken. - Language games are like games in that there are (family) resemblances between them 'overlapping and criss-crossing' - and new language games come into existence and some may become redundant.
