Abstract
The aim of the article is to show that the function of language in Hegel goes beyond the strict field of the subjective spirit and also concerns objective spirit. To illustrate this thesis it offers a systematic reconstruction of the role of language in Hegel's philo sophy of Right. It shows that the produced world can only be thought and willed through various linguistic configurations that range from subjective word to the action of language via objective writing. Looking to the future, it is then shown that the co-constitution between subjectivity and objectivity made possible by these linguistic configurations is able to provide elements of a criticism of communication as well as an alternative framework to Searle's theory of speech acts. © 2014 Revue Philosophique de Louvain.
