Introduction to Part One
A Tongues
A1 Considered temporally, a tongue (vernacular, dialect, patois) is an undisciplined process of phonemic, graphic, morphological, syntactic, idiomatic, semantic habits disappearing and cropping up here and there, more or less cohesive and incohesive, coherent and incoherent, according to families of uses, more or less widespread, more or less fugitive and persistent according to scale.
A2 Anglophones are supposed to participate in the evolution of a process called English. Is Hamlet an Anglophone? Did he speak English at the beginning of the seventeenth century or Danish some time before? He might be considered as a spirit who does not speak in any tongue, but is manifested in English and other tongues through various mediums, i.e. actors. Or it may be said that there is a Ham-

let that speaks English according to an English text, another Hamlet that speaks French according to a French translation, etc. He "speaks," rather than "spoke." In this case, a use of the present tense points to a reluctance to historicize an entity which is temporal, but fictional.
A3 "Hamlet says"; "Shakespeare says in Hamlet"; "On this point, Kant agrees with Plato.'' Does the use of a present tense in these cases make these authors and texts contemporaneous (simultaneous, synchronic)? Or does it fictionalize them? Rather, it makes names of authors and texts refer to intemporal entities. And the same could be said about the name of a tongue, if it refers to an arsenal of undated resources.
A4 By "intemporal," I do not mean "eternal." "Eternal" can often be equated with "permanent," "everlasting." And what is permanent is just as temporal as what is fugitive. Indeed, if a two-second world is isolated, what lasts two seconds in this world is eternal. I shall use "temporal" as short for "spatiotemporal." I consider simultaneity and succession to be correlative; and space is what allows events to be distinguished, insofar as they are simultaneous, whatever geometry may be chosen. What happens takes place.
