All forms of language get their meaning from the games or practices they are used to enact. These games or practices determine is acceptable or good - who is a winner or loser - in the game or practice. Winning in these practices is often, for many people, a social good. Thus, in using language, social goods are always at stake, for many people. If no one care about a game or practice anymore - one saw being accepted as acceptable or good in the game or practice as important anymore - the game or practice would no longer have any social goods to offer and would cease to exist. - Gee
