Rerun, Reread: A Follow Up of Sorts

While I was reading D&G the other morning, I made some notes as usual and underlined and starred bits I liked or question-marked things I didn't understand. And I drew out a few things in my cartoony way...

But sometimes it just comes down to understanding what the words mean and understanding someone else's associations - where they're coming from, not where you're coming from. When D&G start out chapter 3 with 'stratification', my mind jumped to the Grand Canyon. I 'saw' the concept in geological terms. When they moved on to talk about 'double articulation', I immediately assumed it was geological and tried to understand it in those terms. Finally, yesterday (cause it was bugging me), I decided to look up 'double articulation' in the dictionary. And now I know that I'm supposed to be thinking about linguistics and the infinite use of finite elements in language. Reading about this in D&G is bound to be tricky because they won't merely describe it, they'll enact it, they'll double articulate 'double articulation' like crazy. I know them now. They won't be able to resist!
