This text explores the ontological nature of language while challenging long-standing philosophical prejudices inherited from Ancient Greece and the Enlightenment. It focuses on the distinction between living and dead languages, questioning the true essence of linguistic reality. The author examines whether language consists merely of physical sounds, physiological movements, or written symbols, or if its actual existence requires a deeper dimension. The reflection posits that audio recordings or written letters do not constitute language in themselves, as they lack the inherent meaning present during the live act of communication. Therefore, the reality of a living language is not found in its material medium but in the transmission of sense, which transcends physical manifestations and depends heavily on context. The work invites a re-evaluation of how we perceive language as a dynamic phenomenon, suggesting that its true reality lies in the capacity to convey meaning rather than in its technical or formal components.
