It is possible to observe that both concepts have undergone some changes in their definitions. However, when these two concepts are in question, the only thing that does not change is that they continue to play a key role in the course of human history. Because of that the fact of sharing a common history, we will try to examine the notion of migration on the basis of language philosophy and to reveal how language understandings affect the attitudes pertaining to the notion of migration. In this context, we will focus on Humboldt and Rorty, who start from entirely different concepts in their approaches to language. In this context, we will focus on Humboldt and Rorty, who start from entirely different concepts in their approaches to language.
