An idea of principle inferiority of language, of language as a carrier of many defects which defeat an adequate cognition and adequate communication, appears to be not only philosophical but also cultural generality. Instead of this, the author makes an attempt to clarify the mutual reference of language and ideology, as well as to elucidate offered in K.-O. Apel's teaching recipes of rectification of ideological curvatures of language. The article is aimed at relating twofold architectonics of discourse to the threefold doctrine of academic disciplines within the framework of Apel's transcendental pragmatics. Critical social studies have some features both of the transcendental language game and of particular empirical language games. So they do not intrinsically belong neither to the first nor to the latter. Therefore, architectonics of discourse needs revising in order to reserve place for critical social studies.
