Acceptance of descriptive -referential concepts of objects directs forms of analysis and thorough research these same objects. This is no different in linguistic studies. Accept that languages are socialized systems and culturally determined representation of events and their worlds (FERRAREZI, 2010), implies accepting that languages change as cultural and social changes occur in a linguistic community. In this article, we investigate the motivation for discourse production than as a representation of concepts, but as a process of valuing form. We deal with the production of discourse - shape means of achieving communicative and social goals and not the referential speech based on content and meanings arising from the referral. That is, instead of the production of meanings, what is at stake in talks object of our analysis is the impact of forms produced and the way of production, whose references senses the author assumes unaware. We intend, therefore, to emphasize in the classroom language study through social and cultural factors, taking into account the morphological and syntactic constructions allowed in the interaction between subject, language and world.
