This article investigates who the subject of/in communication is from a perspective grounded in Discourse Analysis. Its objective is to discuss the concept of the subject and its articulation with the field of Communication, bringing it into dialogue with theories of language, enunciation, and symbolic interactionism. This is a theoretical study developed through a literature review, which highlights the subject as a discursive, historical, and ideological construct constituted through symbolic relations and processes of meaning production. It concludes that the dialogue between Discourse Analysis and Communication Theory broadens the understanding of the subject of/in communication and provides theoretical and conceptual foundations for research concerned with communication processes.
