ABSTRACT

In the framework of philosophy, a multitude of approaches and directions that are concerned with questions on the origin, characteristics, way of functioning and achievement of language. For the solution of the predominantly interdisciplinary problems logical, psychological, linguistic, biological, sociological, and other investigations and insights need to be taken into account. A central question of contemporary language philosophy is the connection between philosophical insight and knowledge on the one hand and the form and structure of language on the other, as was discussed especially in ‘Analytical Philosophy,’ with its interest in logical analysis. ( language criticism, ordinary language philosophy, origin of language)
