Abstract: Language and meaning are evolving. The journey of human language has the history from origin of human species and to this moment. The history of human language traces back to the very origin of the species and continues to develop in complex ways. History of language has always been deeply intertwined social, cultural, political, economic, biological, rational, intellectual dimensions what Wittgenstein broadly refers to as forms of life. Language is part of the natural history of human being. Language is organic which has been associated with the life of humankind. In the space of Linguistic philosophy there is divergent approach other than language is emerging language having definite structure and having definite meaning meaning deriving directly from the facts of reality. Language acquires its form and content from the reality what in front of us, in other words through depicting the facts. Picturing the reality. Language in an ideal form world and language having an isomorphic relation each meaningful proposition mirrors a fact in the world. Everything in language meaning and usage is determined by the specific structure formal grammar, depth grammar. Frege, Russell, and Early Wittgenstein were the prominent proponents of this approach, Ideal language approach or Formal language approach. In this approach there is no space for additions and contextual articulations and interpretations. Logical, Mathematical and Scientific assertions. Conception of entire language in this way constantly given limits by grammar.
