Abstract (English):	Neopositivism and operationalism in psychiatry has promoted a simplification of the psychopathological language. According to its selection criteria, the psychopathological terms that should be kept are those whose descriptions can be done in the lowest possible level of inference, in descriptions of external behavior, or else in simple lay language. Four issues are discussed in relation to this criteria from a post-wittgensteinian perspective: the possibility of a pure observational language, the absence of a unique theoretical framework in psychopathology, the presence of methapors and analogies as well as the question about the representational nature of the psychopathological language.

Abstract (Spanish):	La deriva neopositivista y operacional en psiquiatría se ha acompañado de un recorte de la terminología psicopatológica. El criterio de selección seguido, consistiría en conservar solamente aquellos términos que se refieran a fenómenos mentales cuyas descripciones puedan ser reducidas al menor nivel posible de inferencia, a descripciones del comportamiento externo o incluso a un lenguaje ordinario. En relación a este criterio, se discuten cuatro cuestiones desde una perspectiva post-wittgensteiniana: la posibilidad de un lenguaje observacional puro, la ausencia de un marco teórico único en la psicopatología, la presencia de metáforas y analogías en el lenguaje de la psicopatología y la discusión acerca de si las distinciones que establece la psicopatología representan entidades naturales.
