Kant establishes the systematic relation between the universal structures of a Cognition, and its Communicability. In the process, he seems to continue the Platonist tradition of advocating the priority of the former, with respect to which, the latter is extrinsic. However, Pragmatism suggests at least the beginning of an inversion of that ordering, and Wittgenstein further develops it with his argument against a 'private language', i. e. against a Language that signifies exclusively the non-structural components of an experience. So, implicit in that development is not only the thesis that has been proposed here--that Language is fundamentally an intra-species phenomenon--so, too, is Cognition.
