This text explores the concept of language and speech as a specific type of osvětí, representing an acquired environment or life-world. The author argues that while individual sounds, letters, and words may appear as independent entities within the realm of language, their true reality is realized only through the process of acquisition and mastery. Consequently, the linguistic world is not an objective structure existing in isolation; it becomes real only when internalized by the subject. The work focuses on the ontological status of linguistic components and the transition from abstract signs to a lived reality. By defining speech as an environment that exists solely through human engagement, the text challenges the perception of language as a mere tool. Instead, it presents language as a dynamic surrounding world that is co-constituted by the speaker. This phenomenological perspective emphasizes the transformation of linguistic elements into a personal osvětí, highlighting that the existence of language is fundamentally tied to its active use.

Jazyk (mluva) jako osvětí
Jednotlivé zvuky, jednotlivá písmena resp. celá slova – to vše jsou jakoby samostatné skutečnosti ve světě jazyka, ale tento svět je „skutečný“ pouze jako osvojený, tj. jako jakési jazykové „osvětí“.
