Abstract

This text elaborates a reflection on the idea of sharing associated with communication, an idea that is closely linked to the role of language and meanings as socio-cultural and historical products. It part of questioning the way in which this idea has been configured from understanding meanings and language as something that pre-exists the individual and it propose an alternative to understand meanings and language as products of cognition processes that develop within the individual as part of his vital dynamics, where communication becomes an expressive behavior of a subjective type where the cognitivemental world of the individual unfolds, making evident the presence of the processes of subjective production of meanings involved in the processes of cognition that in turn, they are fundamental to guarantee adaptation and survival to the individual in the environments in which his life is inserted: physical, social and symbolic-cultural. This reflection is developed from a transdisciplinary position and it is epistemologically situated in the perspective of methodological individualism, which fundamentally articulates with the main premises of neurosciences, biosemiotics, cognitive sciences and neurophenomenology, from a communicative reading around the social and social interaction.
