Abstract

Through recourse to Wittgenstein’s concept of language games, the Unverfügbarkeit which determines the relationship of the self to language is outlined; simultaneously, however, the possibility of our disposal of language in language use is gauged. Thus, this article is directed against those positions which deny this possibility. While the ability to dispose of language is in itself not transparent, that which is unverfügbar in our own language is not fully unknown: on the contrary, it shows itself as a game in its manifold usages.
