The faculty to speak and the reflection about one's language are
inherent characteristics of human beings. According to Ferdinand de
Saussure's thesis human language can be divided into three fundamental
aspects: the biological preconditions for speaking (langage), the fixed
system of rules and signs (langue) and the act of speaking itself
(parole). The supposition that the language-system and the speechact are
linked reciprocally and that there is no backflow into the system
without speaking, it gets clear that the human language withdraws itself
from an immediate observation. It can only be examined in the course of
the reconstructing its process of appearance, that is, its articulation.
Is language thus an exclusively virtual product, the existence of which
begins and ends up with its realization?
