Verso un'antropologia semantica

Abstract

This is a joint work on the relationship between two disciplines: Philosophy of Language and Anthropology. The first part of this work focuses on the encounter  between the two disciplines, the heuristic value of this approach and what kind of issues it addresses. It analyzes the advantages that a linguistical analysis of human interaction and cultural performance can product, and argues that we have to present and explain the connection between some formal character of language and some formal character of the human existence.  This study is based on Heidegger’s philosophy, because he tried to show that is impossible to understand the human nature if we don’t take a look at the particular structure of our language. So I present some of the ideas that Heidegger has had about language and abuot the particular nature that we, as speaker, have.
