In our dissertation, we aimed to show, in general lines, how the language in Kierkegaard's thought is deeply connected to the individual existence, showing in which way language can be thought as the way ideality and reality fit each other. At the same time, we developed that language, ironic in itself, always presupposes a destruction of the meaning of the spoken word that must be overcome by the Christian when he, performing the leap, becomes himself a word formed by God. Therefore, adequacy between ideality and reality involves love that, once it has been, in a first moment, emptied of its content, regains its content when it is directed and related to God, this resignification of content, in turn, should also be able to be expressed through language, which is the indicative of the relation between the Paradox and the Christian.
