Vivencia de palabras, significado secundario y poesía: Sobre la idea de un lenguaje propiamente humano en WittgensteinDOI: 10.4067/S0718-71812011000100014 Keywords: experiencing (the meaning of) a word, secondary meaning (or secondary sense), meaning-blindness, human language, mother tongue, poetry. Abstract: between 1946 and 1949, having concluded his long-term work on the first part of philosophical investigations (1929-1945), wittgenstein repeatedly comes to deal with topics related to two notions he coined as ?experience of a word? (worterlebnis) and ?se-condary meaning? (sekund?re bedeutung). the present article has the following objectives: to expose, distinguish and interrelate the expressions ?experience of a word? (or ?experience of meaning?) and ?secondary meaning? (sections 2, 3 and 4); to question a dominant interpretation according to which the so called ?meaning-blindness? (bedeutungsblindheit) amounts to the incapacity to perceive the subtleties of poetic language and to suggest alternatively that the author is pointing to the idea of a speciically human language (sections 5 and 6); to clarify the relation between secondary meaning and metaphor (section 7); and to explain what can all this mean with respect to poetry as a language game (section 8).
