Abstract

This project has as its main objective to describe and analyze how social and historical processes of registers formation and stylistic elaboration by specific social groups are related, complementary and/or conflictual. In this sense, these processes are conceived as activities that present a necessary iconic, recursive and reflexive nature. (AU)
