Wittgenstein: Graphics, Normativity and Paradigms Criterion and Symptom

I describe the graphics in relation to seven key [lexical] concepts taken from the co-text (criterion, symptom, calculation, proof, explanation, description, paradigm). By adopting a content-model for the interpretation of the graphics, and then comparing them to the key lexical concepts it is concluded that graphics function normatively in that they establish the underlying grammatical structure of concepts such as proof. This gives them a more active role in concept grammar than has been ascribed to them hitherto by commentators such as Baker and Hacker. A link is also made between the graphics and the important role of generality and prototype (ungefähr and Urbild) in the formation of our conceptframeworks.
