Abstract

By placing the operating rules of verbal language in the continuity of natural evolution, we intend to show that the placement of information in time, between past and future, constitutes an interface between physical space-time on the one hand and linguistic space-time on the other. Things are spatialised in the reference points of one and temporalised in the reference points of the other, where they become words. Their meaning is a direction in time that precedes their signification, i.e. their expression returned to the physical world.
