首先,维特根思坦对语言的理解,是语言的相对主义观点。他认为,语言的特定环
境决定决定了语义的限制范围( "The limits of my language mean the limits of
my world", "The subject does not belong to the world, but it is a limit
of the world", and "About what one cannot speak, one must remain silent。
" (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus:))。
早期,他认为语言是“游戏规则”,晚期的维氏,他改为认同语言是“一张网”。
但对语言本质的认识没有变化。
