2009 was chosen by the Romanian Patriarchy „The Year of the Cappadocian Fathers”. Saint Basil the Great is, probably, the most famous Cappadocian Father. His work, beyond the theological value presents also a linguistic and philological relevance, not only in the context of Greek Language and Hellenistic Literature, but also regarding the interference of theology with language. His polemics with the Arians Heretics implied a very developed discussion concerning origin, structure and essence of the human language, language which, in those days became the vehicle of the Christian Doctrine. We present in this article a few remarks, observations and problems with significative relevance concerning these problems. Saint Basil sustained with arguments that the human language is conventional, not absolute and it is a simple instrument for communication, and the authentic theological language is one of experience and spiritual life.
