Apfelbaum
Jack

"Suppose Jack and Jill are walking down a lane.
Jill is hungry.
She sees an apple in a tree.
She makes a noise with her larynx, tongue, and lips.
Jack vaults the fence,
climbs the tree,
takes the apple,
brings it to Jill,
and places it in her hand.
Jill eats the apple.
… we … will naturally distinguish between the act of speech and the other occurrences,
which we shall call practical events." (22f.)

 Jill
A. Practical events preceeding the act of speech.
B. Speech.
C. Practical events following the act of speech." (23)
 
"Language enables one person to make a reaction (R) when another person has the stimulus (S)."
speechless reaction:: S >———————————————> R
 
reaction mediated by speech: S >——> r speech s >——> R
