§§113-115
The philosopher, in the grip of a picture, may well repeat their confused philosophical 'claims' to themselves - perhaps because they feel the conflict between the picture they're held captive by and what they see when they examine the ordinary use of language. What the philosopher is in fact doing here (in repeating the phrase) is reaffirming a conceptual connection they take to hold and projecting it onto reality (perhaps giving the impression that there is an a priori order to the world).
In this case (§114) the philosopher is 'bewitched by language'.
