Abstract

Heidegger's concepts of `discourse' and 'language' play a
fundamental role in the interpretations of his early work, especially
in Being and time. Nevertheless, the exact extent of their functions
differs between interpretations and scholars. This multiplicity of
interpretations is a direct answer to the constitution of language
itself, as an hermeneutical phenomenon. But even though this
existential concept of language can be approached from different
points of view, its meaning is ultimately decided by the internal
coherence of Heidegger's philosophical project and by the task of
the existential analytic as a whole. This paper attempts to offer a
general description of the constitution of the concept of language in
Being and time; and also to provide an account of language's
ontological horizon: that is, the fundamental problem of possibility.
Thus, by attending to the complex set of relations that determines
the organization of the concept of language we will be able to read
Heidegger's Being and time in a new way.
