Summary/Abstract: The selection of ancient philosophy-based language conceptual frameworks display the consciousness of the significant function of language in the context of understanding the reality. In the considerations of the sense of words as the starting point, Plato concurrently indicated the existence of the reality that was identical with such a sense. However, in the philosophical system of Aristotle the language was deeply rooted in the structure of the reality, and additionally played the role of a certain kind of a tool, by means of which the truth was legible in respect of a thing that was subject to cognition (cognitive experience).
