Their entire attempt to analyse the language has been from listuer's or hearer's point of view. That is why we find meticulous analysis of the process of verbal understanding i. e. cognition that arises from a sentence i.e. the $äbdabodha. As philosophers of language, they took divergent stands-right from saying that language does not speak the truth to saying that it cannot speak but the truth through saying that it speaks both, truth and untruth. To my mind, these divergent views paved the way for the evolution of an analytic philosophy, that is Indian Philosophy. The Nyāya Vaiseșika school contributed a lot to this development.
