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?
