Abstract: In this work, we make a reflection on the role of language in communication, based on understanding. It seeks to understand the language from its onto-epistemological status and from there position a questioning about its intersubjective nature, which leads to question also the communication understood from these premises. The theoretical perspectives of phenomenology, biosemiotics, neurobiology and evolutionary biology are taken as references, and it is concluded that there are two types of language, the social one we know and the individual or subjective, which makes it possible to think of communication as Behavior and expressive act from a subjective and intersubjective dimension that is where the understanding is articulated.

Keywords : language; communication; understanding; intersubjectivity.
