Hi,
I think A.A. and A.N. Leont'ev pointed out that all forms of language
are subordinate to activity (Tätigkeit), and that conversation may be a
specialized form of activity--one that Heidegger points out is
derivative leading to idle talk, a different form of talk rather than
authentic talk, that talk characteristic of (work-related) activity
(Tätigkeit). Felix Mikhailov encourages us to think about sound
envelope so that we move away to privilege language, and Derrida
encouraged us to make a similar move when he criticizes the
phallogocentrism (logos, word) of Western culture.

As material, sound envelopes are initially unprivileged entities, signs
among many others--deictic, iconic gestures, body positions, head
moves, diagrams, any perceptual structure available to participants--

Michael
