Final vocabulary
Richard Rorty coined the term "final vocabulary" which he explicated in Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity to mean a set of communicative beliefs whose contingency the bearer more or less ignores. Final vocabulary describes any such beliefs, whether held by one human or all. The ironist always suspects a final vocabulary.
