Abstract
Some individuals in all human cultures and ages have believed some or all of their experiences to be beyond adequate expression. Many have nonetheless attempted to present or evoke some aspect of these experiences for others through communication. To do so without implicitly contradicting one's belief that the experiences are ineffable requires that the communicator creatively adapt message and/or context in a manner lkely to conflict with conventional standards of communication competence, interpersonal rules and expectations, logic, or aesthetic tastes.
