The language, in sight of building knowledge and discourse legitimization

Abstract

Language is the most direct means which is being used to name the things that are surrounding us, in order to express our thoughts and our experiences, so we can organize and make sense of the world. It contains a complex weaving that leads us to construct the knowledge, to hierarchize it, to give it meaning and to create an infinite possibility of discourses. All of this is based on a legitimization given by the norm which is imposed by the social group to which it belongs. Regarding inclusive language, in addition to having these characteristics, it is related to other aspects such as sexism, inequalities, discrimination, exclusion of certain groups, control, the fight for the political rights, among others. Nevertheless, the questions are how does language construct the knowledge? and how language constructs the human being.
