Language appears as a special reality within which a man finds himself. In the nature of language human understanding of the world and socialization takes place, and the willingness to cooperate on various levels (interpersonal and intercultural) is forming. For a given area we may consider the problem of understanding from two standpoints: as the way of being, that is, the ontology of understanding, and in relation of the ontology of understanding with the epistemology of interpretation. The consideration of each of the parties allows extending the troublesome field to a given topic and opening up new horizons for research.
