I've been interested in the inherent meanings of words for a few months now and encountered this problem in my thoughts.
The 'chair' paradox I arrived at was this...
How does one have coherent thought without language? And how does one have language without coherent thought?
Another related realization was that a sentence is very much like a mathematical equation. The more words you use the less you say. That is, the more precise in subject you are. Fewer words are more general and therefore encompass more meaning.
