This thesis defends the interpretation according to which there is a substantial continuity – associated with the importance conferred to the social dimension for the explanation of the language – between Naming and Necessity and Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language, by Saul Kripke. The interpretative hypothesis assumed in this work departs at several points from the traditional reading for which there is no significant unity between both books by Kripke, which would justify the separate treatment usually attributed to these writings. In order to achieve its purpose, the present study is organized into four chapters. Thus, in the first part, the traditional interpretation is presented, as well as some reasons that could be pointed out for its support. Also in the first chapter, some heterodox and minority views on the relations between Naming and Necessity and Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language are considered. Chapter 2, for its turn, is dedicated to discussing the way how the social dimension of language appears in the account on reference developed in Naming and Necessity. In this fashion, the notions of communicative chains and community are examined, which are fundamental for the proposal defended in Naming and Necessity and for the development of the central hypothesis of this thesis. For its part, chapter 3 investigates the social dimension of language as it occurs in Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language. For this, the paradox about the meaning formulated in that book is analyzed, as well as the sceptical solution that answers it, which is responsible for introducing the characteristic communitarist aspects of that work. In chapter 3, the attempts of straight solutions to the semantic paradox are also considered, which insofar as they inevitably fail, constitute an indirect source of support for the skeptical solution itself. Finally, based on the comparative analysis carried out in previous chapters, chapter 4 considers the main differences and similarities between the two books analyzed, highlighting the similarity of the social dimension of language. Chapter 4 also presents and answers some objections that could be made to the interpretation defended in this thesis.
