The purpose of this study is to identify the meaning of language on a cognitive and pragmatic point of view. Schema theory is one of the useful methods for this study because the meaning of language can be a linguistic figuration of schema in that the frame of human memory is named as schema. Thoughts and language reciprocate each other due to their close correlation and language can function as a filtering process of thoughts. People communicate with each other by languages, therefore the meaning of language are intersection of schema from communication participants on a cognitive and pragmatic point of view.  The reason the meaning of language is explained by schema is that language is composed of not only circumstances and a intention but also an external knowledge.
