"Language is not the problem in our understanding of reality, the problem is discourse. What may or may not be adequate to a given social, historical, and ecological reality is the dominant discourse of a given society, a discourse crafted out of the infinite potential of the language(s) in use. Time is a factor also. What separates our talk from that of the middle ages is not so much how we talk — linguistic changes in grammar, spelling, basic vocabulary, and so on, real as these may be — but radical changes in what we talk about and how we do it."
