The emergence of DUPOBS has undermined any analysis of language as a synchronic system. This emergence demands reevaluation of the verbal sign. Whereas other languages depend on fairly static signification, the language of DUPOBS is free of constraints: a signified is rarely referred to by the same signifier twice. This allows speakers to more accurately express the inner sound – as Kandinsky might call it – of signifieds as they are perceived. While one thing may be a “k-khlaughredloeux†to one person, it is rather a “hououleu!†to someone else. To use a Marxian paradigm, the language of DUPOBS has immediate use-value for self expression. Exchange-value – in that there is a medium of exchange – is almost nil. If static signification is the analogue of oppressive capital, then the language of DUPOBS is anti-capital. It is a good idea to speak this language. DUPOBS’ new album will be announced here shortly.
