Wittgenstein described language as only communicating meaning within the context of a set of rules he called ‘language-games’. This idea was been expanded upon quite a bit in the 20th century by philosophers examining the semantics of language, and the radical subjectivist body of work that is often labeled ‘PoMo’ and associated with Foucault et al.
