Code-talker paradox

The code-talker paradox is an issue in linguistics that brings into question some fundamental ideas of the nature of languages. Specifically, the fact that language can both facilitate and block communication.

This term, coined by Mark Baker raises the issue of how Philip Johnston and the code talker were able to communicate in a way such that human beings created references that were mutually intelligible to each other but completely unintelligible to everyone who was not familiar with the structure and meaning of the signals.

So here you go. The idea is to throw the other "team" off of the basis of communication. One way to do that is to extend something into a metaphor that your compatriot understands but opposing peoples do not. Cultural references are a good first basis for this idea. Now, asking how I know *that* is an actual paradox.

We refer to these as communications 'CONTEXT'. This gives a clue to a deeper layer of communication and misdirection. Inflection, even so slight can change a word from important to IMPORTANT. I trust you can see the written difference? Well, we can sense it.

Next comes cadence (as the Military calls it) or rhythm, as I do. Then rhythmic Contexts, such as iambic pentameter. Next, rhyming schemes. Then bodily function controls, stomache gurgles, farting, burps, smack of lips, etc.

Next, also kissing. Tongue position force thrust and counter thrust beat a kind of rhythm.

Sure, sure citation needed. Good luck with that one.
