Philosophy of language is concerned with the nature of meaning, language use, language cognition, and the relationship between language and reality.

Philosophers of language often draw on linguistic analysis, logic, cognitive science, and other disciplines to address these questions. The field has broad implications for various philosophical areas, including epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind, as language is a fundamental tool for expressing and shaping our understanding of the world.
