Komunikacija i postmoderna
Communication and the Postmodern

Summary/Abstract: Lyotard asserts that different languages, those of science, literature etc. exist simultaneously, but are totally closed within themselves without mutual encounters. The consequence of this would be that a statement produced in one type of language or according 10 the rules of one linguistic game could not be translated into another type of language. The assertion about the enclosure of discourse within ns own linguistic game and about the impossibility of its semantic value to be transposed into statements of another linguistic kind is particularly noticeable when everyday communication is considered Standard language appears to be the locus where statements of different linguistic types meet the language of everyday living, standard language, is the locus where the basic meanings created in the various linguistic kinds come together, the relationship between everyday language and linguistic kinds does not flow in one direction. Everyday language is not just a passive receiver of impulses from particular languages, other verbal types depend in fact on everyday linguistic statements.
