use theory of language

Today Hansen introduced the use theory of language. Before doing this, he reviewed the inferential theory, propositional theory. These theories works on a interpretation of the meaning of language. The inferential theory claims that the meaning of words originate from the reference to respective objects while the propositional theory asserts that the meaning of language is based on the compositional structure of sentence. However, Waittgenstein claims that the meaning of langue derives from the practice of language in social interaction. The play of language is alike the play of a game which is ruled by it rules. Each move in this game is judged by the rule of the game.
