Abstract

Reflection on the nature of maps normally tends to privilege deconstructive techniques, on the belif of the supremacy of models derived from reflections about natural language ovwer all others models. On the contrary, the paper focuses on the possibility of finding another explanation, according to which cartographic language is more important than verbal language, and is able to explain the aporias of the latter.
