Kids use words in ways that release hidden meanings, revel the history buried in sounds. They haven't forgotten that words can be more than signs, that words have magic, the power to be things, to point to themselves and materialize.

Abracadabra. Perhaps a child will remember the word and will bring the walls tumbling down.

But we shall have to follow a roundabout path in order to explain how science sets about restoring to words a part at least of their former magical power.
