摘要：

Language gains in Luhmann's theory of social systems a central position since it represents that structural coupling of Psychical and social systems which should provide their co-evolution. Therefore the article reconstructs how Luhmann develops his concept of language and considers this conception against the background of significant empirical studies. As a result it reveals that Luhmann's understanding of language does not meet the conditions required by his concept of structural coupling and is contradictory to some of the central theses of his theory. These deficiencies can be traced back to Luhmann's view of language as a non-system as well as to his disregarding of language structures based on action.
