The questions which our theory of language hasto discuss are hardest of all to write clearly about.They are the meeting points of tremendous pressurescoming from rival philosophic systems used con-sciously or unconsciously by those who discuss them.We should expect not only great divergences of viewbut persistent drastic misinterpretations among theirstudents.
Theory of Language and its discussion is one composed of numerous philosophical intersections, making it a subject difficult to write about for anyone outside of the philosophical field. Especially as the reader has to contend with such an expansive explanation of a narrow topic.

There is no agreed theory of language--aselementary mechanics, for example, is an agreed the-ory. Later on in this book we will see why there can-not be.
In this small section the writer claims to understand that when pertaining to the Theory of Language there is no universal code/law that readers or philosophers can come together and claim. The theory isn't a static subject with its own concrete law and order that's followed like the agreed upon elementary mechanics.
