Against some misunderstanding of the idea of a « linguistic turn » of contemporary philosophy, we first show that, much more than Frege’s or Russell’s, Husserl’s ontological analyses strongly rely on a faith in linguistic structures. Such a confidence should even be called « naïve » had it not been coupled with the thesis –which lies at the very foundation of phenomenology– that structures of experience (perceptual forms and types, passive syntheses) do not wholly comply with, but conversely « motivate », these linguistic structures.
