§130-131

Simple language games (such as the one in §2) are objects of comparison (we compare them to our own, more complicated language) - not approximations of an ideal language (as we might think, given that they help us in getting clear about the correct uses of expressions and how they differ).

They illuminate not by being clear reflections of reality but by being models which highlight certain features of our language which we have failed to recognise (because they are so familiar, perhaps).
