The research aims to understand how language is seen at different times in the history of the philosophy of language. To do so, it is necessary to analyze the main points of what some philosophers thought about language from ancient Greece to contemporary times; compare the different points of view, checking convergent and divergent points between them and, in this way, reach an overview of what language was for these thinkers. Research isthen carried out based on a bibliographical review of central documents from the thinkers chosen for the research. In view of this, it appears that opposing thoughts about language coexisted and coexist, sometimes getting closer and sometimes distancing themselves from each other. Therefore, the philosophy of language contributed and contributes to verifying that language can only be understood within a panorama of ideas, each one revealing parts of this multidisciplinary and heterogeneous language.ptTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS
