If it is assumed that human speech has application as its domain on the ground that a person uses speech regarding a known object, because of dependence on another means of valid cognition, then its object is something for which another means of valid cognition is possible.
It is not, however, that because its object is accessible to another means of valid cognition human speech is also dependent, for an object of that kind is [merely] an occasion for dependence.
