| Summary: | This article deals with the concept of language, and the way in which, as a manmade
artifact, it can be understood as a means of representation and expression, with the
pretension of validating the things it does not know -the object- as well as the way to know
them. In that way, we draw from the idea of language as a system, a social semiotics and
an intention. Through language and the communicative act of interlocution, the subject
determines the veracity and validity of a fact. Linguistic action performs in the system
and for the system, and establishes the level of agreement between the idea -whether it
be thought or made manifest- and the object, as a final product of its ability to act and
communicate. Our thesis is that, regardless of the way or ways in which linguistic codes
are combined, what really matters is their capacity for veracity. In the same way, these
levels and possibilities are limited or amplified by the world-systems in which the speaking
subjects are involved.
