ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the Heideggerian linguistic turn in relation to the theme of the “voice.” It shows that the passage from the “voice of conscience” to the “voice of being” corresponds to the passage from logocentrism to logomorphism. Whereas logocentrism entails the existence of a voice more authentic and originary than everyday language, logomorphism consists of a pure will to signify, dictating the impossibility of stepping outside everyday language. The philosophical–etymological investigation of the term Dichtung (poetry) outlines the transformation of the notion of voice in Heidegger.
