Zusammenfassung

This article stresses the tremendous importance of discourses (political, social, …) on language from the point of view of researchers. Indeed, these discourses reflect the nature of the relationship that s o c i e ty has with respect to langu a ge and, consequently, have become an indispensable tool for researchers in the understanding process. Likewise, it cannot be forgotten that the interpretations and theories put forward by researchers will permeate society and be grafted onto social discourses and thus impact upon linguistic reality.
