Annotation: This article examines Martin Heidegger’s conception of language as presented in On the Way to Language. Heidegger challenges the traditional understanding of language as a mere instrument of communication and proposes an ontological interpretation in which language constitutes the medium through which Being is disclosed. The study aims to analyze the essence of language in Heidegger’s later philosophy and evaluate its implications for contemporary philosophical discourse. Using qualitative textual analysis, the article investigates key passages from On the Way to Language and related secondary literature. The findings demonstrate that Heidegger regards language as the “house of Being,” emphasizing its role in shaping human existence, thought, and understanding. The article concludes that Heidegger’s philosophy of language provides a significant alternative to instrumental and representational theories of language and continues to influence modern hermeneutics, phenomenology, and linguistic philosophy.

Keywords: Heidegger, language, Being, ontology, philosophy of language, hermeneutics, phenomenology.
