Linguistic Phenomenology

Linguistic Phenomenology explores how language shapes our experiences and understanding of the world. In the context of the Private Language Argument, it questions whether individuals can have a personal language that only they understand, as language involves shared meaning. This argument, associated with philosophers like Ludwig Wittgenstein, suggests that language relies on social interactions and community agreement for meaning. Thus, our thoughts and experiences are always influenced by the language we share with others, reflecting a shared reality rather than an isolated, private one.
