The Picture Theory of Language, primarily associated with the work of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein in his early writings, especially in his seminal work "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus," posits that language functions similarly to a picture or model of reality. According to this theory, thoughts can be represented in language through propositions, which can depict states of affairs in the world.
