His early thoughts refer to his consideration of the nature of language in his book “Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus”, which we summarize as Picture Theory. His later thoughts include “language games”, “form of life”, “rule- following”, “family resemblance”, “private language”, and “meaning as use”. Particularly, the idea of “language games” fully embodies Wittgenstein’s pragmatic thoughts, that is, participants must be involved in the language use and an utterance of participants is a speech act which will be mea- ningful only in a specific context. Each utterance of participants has got its own intention. Mean- while, the participants have to observe the pragmatic principles or rules so that the two parties can understand the meanings of the utterances, that the hearer can understand the speaker’s in- tention to obtain the successful communication.
