Metalanguages ...

The one above the one we're using - in which a theory of truth for our language could be formulated - cannot be translated, and, so, cannot be recognised as a language ...

The one below, which we can give an account of, is reduced to syntax, rules, and symbols. It's meaning has been relegated to 'interpretation' and lost to truth-telling. Is it a language or a board game?
