In this paper, I discuss environment, perception and communication from a systems view of the organism and its relational processes, in particular its space of coontogenic encounters, following the coherences of Biology of Knowledge. To this end, I examine assumptions of the cognitive sciences, in which we conceive language as a specific human capacity. In the biological approach I use here, language is a relational phenomenon and belongs to the behavioral domain, that is, the history of relations an organism establishes in a medium. In the same explanatory path, perception is generated by observing the dynamics of the organism's actions. I believe that, taking this biological starting point to talk about environment, perception and communication (or language) may help us to rethink the ontological certainties generated by our scientific activities, and its consequences when dealing with other ways of life, and with other action and explanatory domains, human or not.
