Summary/Abstract: In Wittgenstein’s philosophy grammar is the conceptual order, suggested by our language. The rules of grammar or the norms of use are arbitral, therefore philosophers should not trouble themselves with the question of the ‘language-reality relation’. However, seen from the inner perspective of the speaker, the rules of language show themselves as a necessary condition of meaning. Therefore it is possible to speak about reality as that, which corresponds to the grammatical use of language. ‘Grammatical inaccuracy’ in this sense corresponds to nothing.
