The encoding and decoding we call language is indeed ordered, i.e. semiosis.

However - a big however - an argument or statement made by use of words and syntax is not necessarily logical as is evidenced by the existence of "logical fallacies" per se.

In sum, if the practice of using words constitutes logic then there could be no illogical statements whatsoever.

So true.. The vista of "The Observer" becomes then pregnant with 2nd reality..

What a blessing it will be when language becomes obsolete..
Its such a clumsy way to communicate..

All statements presume the fundamental principle of logic, which has its foundation in metaphysics (i.e. the science of being as being). In isolation there can be no "illogical" statements (not to be confused with unintelligible statements). Only *combinations* of statements can be illogical, when the conclusion does not follow from the premises.
