Abstract

The starting premise of our study is that according to which the language does not have only one essence, but it manifests as an extensive collection of different uses, each one having its own logic. In the late wittgensteinian philosophy the meaning of an expression is its usage in the variety of the uses that come to build the language. The language is fed by the all human activities and behaviours and the different utilisations that we apply to it get substance and significance through our practical activities.. Therefore, language is a part of the structure of an ample "life form". Ludwig Wittgenstein intend to grasp the importance of the role played by the expressions inside the language, the main idea being that the control of the language consists in being able of using its expressions in the different language games they belong to.
The limit is our action from which the language game stems. To know how to use the expression means to have the ability to follow the rules for its use in different language games. In this study we intend to illustrate and analyse the theoretical measures in daily discourse.
