Nowadays, people hear the words of a language as
the words that one reads when written as terms.

B.2

Here, within the domain of: -James of the Word, -a distinction is
made between words and terms which is usually overlooked.

A "word" is a spoken letter pattern that is heard as a specific language sound which holds meaning.
A "word" becomes a "term" when the word is used with a certain definition in mind; and, now, this
definition is that mental image which the word is said to mean as: 'a defin(e):it:e term.' [To:

"It."]

For example, the spoken letter pattern written: "set," is a language sound
that may be used to focus in upon one or another of many definitions.
[One may set a set of keys upon set [not wet] concrete.]

Here, the grammatical value of the term [v., n., adj.] gives a listener the clue to
which meaning is now meant by the speaker. But reading: "set," in a spelling list
is reading: "set," as simply a specific word in the language.

As only a letter pattern, "s-e-t" is free of the word's use as a term; yet, as this letter
pattern, set conveys a specific sense whenever the word is spoken as a term. The sense of:
*touch relation manifest*, may be noticed in each definition which "set" is said to mean.

The sense of the word outlines, or frames, the definitions to which the word may
be used as a term. The sound of the word diagrams the sense. The assembled
model guides one's focus to carve out this pattern from one's natural surround.
