The Marxist semiotician Ferruccio Rossi-Landi conducts an interdisciplinary research connecting the fields of philosophy, linguistics and social sciences. His attempt is to find a synthesis between the studies on language and on Marxism, which leads him at the end of the 1960s to conceive the thesis "language as work". In the article, my purpose is to reconstruct the genesis of this idea and to show its strengths and weaknesses, trying to understand it into the contemporary debate on the linguistic turn of economics. Beyond criticisms, Rossi-Landi has the main merit of highlighting the decisive role of the language-work pair in the description of human nature, which is distinguished from that of other animals precisely for the production of words and tools.
