• The communicative situation works as a place of value exchange of produced state-ments, depending on the value assigned to the discourses and on the conditions ofreception.
• The communicative process will be productive the more the subject adapts the conceptand does not simply remain in the reproduction of the symbol.
• The school system fulfills a determining function in the process that leads to theelaboration, legitimization and imposition of the official language
