Abstract
The study analyses how, in Augustine?s thinking, time, mind ´s relation to itself and language are related together. Being the time of the passing things as far as observed by human mind, time is a span of human spirit.
Similarly, as an attempt of grasping the things, language is an activity of mind calling out the significances from the depth of its own memory. As a result, mind relates to itself exactly in time and in language, always as to its own span shaped through other things, i.e. as to its own memory.
