Abstract

This abstract is the result of a study that analyzed issues related to human language, whose theories are diverse. We sought, through a bibliographical methodology, to verify reflections about what is said about the origin of the language, checking definitions pointed out by some authors regarding the meanings of terms, especially relevant in the study of language, different linguistic signs . The objective was to verify the divergences of the students according to the approaches, from a theological, philosophical, scientific and technological perspective, among others. Chauí, Peirce and Saussure discuss issues related to language, starting from its emergence and bringing significant contributions as to its systematics of signs and signs loaded with expressions, values and feelings. Thus, it was found that thinking the language implies, rather, to understand that there is a great difference between the man and the other animals, being that only the first one is capable of the logos. Saussure argues that a linguistic sign is the basic unit of language. Every language is a complete system of signs and, in turn, every sign has a double face: the signifier and the meaning.
