Abstract

The De Magistro of Santo Agostinho, colloquium whose son, Adeodato, is the interlocutor, ponders about language as meaningful sounds, it’s purpose, inner strength and the word in it’s dimensions. The present research work analyzes the themes of language and the relationship between sign and reality, in the referred work. Based on the assumption that language is a constitutive instrument of human communicative processes, this research firstly addresses language as meaningful sounds, in order to answer the problem of what speech is and what it constitutes. Secondly, it’s presented a reflection on signs and their meanings, what they mean and how they do it is presented, opening space for reflection on the relationship between signs and reality and, still, their effectiveness and their limits, since signs are fundamental elements in the human language process.
