The process of assigning wordness to a noise group is a function of social processes. The value of the the wordness assigned will be determined by the social group in which one was trained to assign wordness. And so the act of assigning wordness to a noise group is in reality a reinforcement of one's relationship to that social group, an act of allegiance. So, every word is allegiance, every use of language a deepening of one's involvement with the social group identified by (and indicative, even diagnostic, of) that language, a deepening of the reliance on the concepts and perceptions demanded by that language, a retrenchment of the world view found therein.
