I thought Wittgenstein was hardcore into logic and the logical analysis of language…wouldn’t he say that language is logically determined?

Yeah, he did. But then he appeared to do a philosophical 180 after the publication of the Tractatacus. He became critical of the views of logical atomism and those of his closest philosophical peers and ventured into a more philosophical place that was markedly particular, relative, and uncertain. None of this is to say that his later work COMPLETELY opposed his earlier work. There are some great interpretations and historical overviews of the connection between the Tractacus and the Philosophical Investigations.
