Abstract
This paper highlights the importance of the interrelationships between language, context, practice and interpretation. These interrelationships should be of interest to artificial intelligence researchers working in multi-disciplinary teams in areas such as knowledge-based systems, speech and vision. Attention is drawn to the importance of Part II, section xi of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical investigations for understanding the enormous complexity of the concept of seeing and how it is woven into an understanding of language and of human relations.
