In this study, the author deals with the analysis of the way in which the problem of the sense of language is set and solved in the phenomenological philosophy of M. Merleau-Ponty. At the beginning of the text, there is a link between the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure?s and Merleau-Ponty?s understanding of language. Then the attention is drawn to the understanding of language within the philosophy of existence, the problem of the relation between a mark and the marked, language and a painting, literature and painting. The final considerations are devoted to Merleau-Ponty?s attempt to establish an indirect ontology in the unfinished work The Visible and the Invisible, a new understanding of the relation between flesh and language, the problem of logos, the problem of the relation of the perceptual and linguistic meaning.
