One of the challenges for organizational studies is that of trying to create their own language from knowledge generated in other sciences, often resulting in an oversimplified translation of concepts. In the case of organizational communication, this challenge is even more complex, as communication is traditionally viewed by management theories in a more instrumental perspective, while approaches in other areas have been diversified. This theoretical essay analyses the possibilities of approximating Management and Language Studies areas in order to develop research on organizational communication and help organizations solve their practical managerial problems. The source of inspiration are the experiences of an interdisciplinary research group that seeks an interdisciplinary approach based on the joint production of knowledge by researchers of both areas, rather than on the crossing of disciplinary boundaries and the mere importation of concepts and methods. The reflections presented show that on one hand, it is not always easy to negotiate the investigative logics and tools used in the process; on the other hand, this exercise may facilitate the production of new knowledge in both areas, with practical relevance for the organizational context.
