ABSTRACT
One of the goals of the present article is to establish an overview about the central importance that reflection on language has had in the past and currently has today. The presence of this problem appears in the field of philosophical thought, and it is attempted to highlight how, in the core of the intelectual concerns of our time, in the opening of numerous questions, the language problem finds its place. In this sense, the appearance of such a problem is described in the ideas of logical positivism, structuralism, hermeneutics and, finally, as an explanation produced from the field of the psychological ideas, in various conceptions of Vigotsky and Bruner. Element that crosses and joins biological dispositions with sociocultural productions, the essential factor in the production of subjectivity and the ontological formation of what we are - individually and collectively-, the language problem does not conclude with the answers that can be provided by one or several disciplines, and will continue to be, without doubt for a long time, an endless source of enigmas that not only keep interest for those who specialize or work with language, but also for those who pretend to explain, even partially, some of the most important aspects of the present day human condition.REFERENCES
