Sažetak

In this paper, the possibility of private language argument in Tractatus Logi- co-Philosophicus is analyzed. The concept of ‘language that only I could un- derstand” is connected to solipsism, or the impossibility to understand other people’s way of seeing the world. But all members of the same community are able to communicate using the same language, so this language is a general lan- guage, and there is no private language, just a private perception of the world. Contemporary linguistic theories of Chomsky and de Saussure are close to this interpretation of private language.
