Verbatim quote · from the corpus

“The most important measure I have taken in this regard is centering the concept of idiom as the condition of all discourse: the protection offered by “idiom” is that it ensures that we don’t forget that any measure is an idiom, a naming, a labeling, a designation that depends on those who can look at that thing and say “this is the same,” thereby iterating the fundamental gesture of language and that, by the same token (tokens are themselves idioms) so is every target.”
