Abstract: THE BEGINNING: LANGUAGE, a'living body we enter at birth, sustains and contains us. it does not stand in place of anything else, it does not replace the bodies around us. placental, our flat land, our sea, it is both place (where we are situated) and body (that contains us), that body of language we speak, our mothertongue.it bears us as we are born in it, into cognition.
