摘　　要：Adorno suggests that art is an essentially expressive language since it is the imitation of natural language. Adorno＇s language thought is derived from Benjamin＇s extensive language theory in which Benjamin claims that all things including human being have languages. The telos of art＇s expression is expressing what the repressed things and human long for speaking. The authentic art preserves the trace of primordial human＇s instinct： mimesis. Through the subject miming the object in the expression of art, the real cognition is realized. According to this model, we can ascertain that artist is the real epistemological subject, the ＂collective subject＂ is factually the speaker of the expression and the epistemological objet which is primary in the production of art. Since art is a language, the standard of art is truth-false, and therefore, the truth content is the criterion of authentic art. Negativity is the core character of truth content.
