Language, Biology, Species

Like Reproduction, Communication is fundamentally an intra-species biological process, e. g. when people converse simply in order to socialize.  That is, in humans, Language fundamentally is interpersonal, not any of the following: 1. an inert impersonal entity; 2. an elective individual activity; 3. about the World, either as a description of it, or as a means to the modification of it.  Thus, Logicism strays from the outset when it abstracts Language from its biological context, as does the later Wittgenstein, when he conceives it as mediating an activity, rather than as coordinating the participants in an activity.
