ABSTRACT
Among those who concern themselves with the distortions that the language we use can cause to our thought, two types of remedies circulate. One of these is altering our language, when used for philosophical purposes, of which we can take Carnap as an example; the other is alerting its user to its systematically misleading properties. This is the attitude of Ayer in LCiJzguage, Truth, and Logic1 and, of course of Linguistic Philosophers. These remedies I would describe respectively as 'changing the instrument' and 'changing the user'.
