The objective of this article is to problematize the relationship between language, justice and law through a philosophical and anthropological reflection. From the thinking of paradigmatic authors of the 20th century, such as Jacques Derrida, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Fernand Braudel and Pierre Bourdieu, a historical, anthropological, philosophical and ethnolinguistic analysis will be carried out, with the purpose of deconstructing the criteria on which the concepts of justice and law are based.
