Summary/Abstract: This article tries to explain the function of language, the meaning of speaking, inclusively their relevant theories, according the system of human mental activity and linguistics. First of all there is an effort to answer the questions: How does this system work, how is a matter assumed, how does communication work after all and what’s the meaning of rationality? The definition is based on academic facts by linguists and philosophers. With their help a detection of the effectiveness of “communication phases” will be exemplified. Instead of using wits on priority, (here) the foundation is the way of thinking and its mental language; through them an explanation: “seeing through a language” will be more understandable. Basis for this analysis is the communication of the blind.
