El texto resalta cómo la problemática sobre la filosofía del lenguaje se ha distribuido entorno a
dos problemáticas centrales, a saber, cómo se relaciona el lenguaje con el hombre y con el
mundo. Entre dichas problemáticas se dividen ciertas temáticas de investigación, las cuales
han originado dos subramas dentro de la filosofía del lenguaje: la pragmática y la semántica,
las cuales buscan enunciar leyes o postulados para la resolución de aquellas problemáticas.
