The existential analysis’ linguistical point of departure is proposition. However, Heidegger did not stay in the logical sphere, because he wanted to establish its ontological foundation. This paper studies how the election of this point of departure affected in his philosophy. In first place, we will describe the ontologization process which shows how every linguistical articulation is prelinguistical founded. In second place, we will study the problem of the limits of language, that is, the way in which Heidegger describes that that as condition of possibility of every propositional language cannot be described propositionally. We will consider the formal indication as a possible ontological methodology, which does not fail in ontification or objetivation. We will finish showing the metalogical obstacles of this proposal, and evaluate its consequences for an ontological development.
