Madelaine Bezenzette	0:15 to 0:30	-Develop knowledge Common sense Knowledge: Comes from home, a neighborhood of the child. Educational Knowledge: Becomes the discourse of the primary school. Technical Knowledge: Discourse of the secondary school. Language has evolved through time with the evolution of the human species so that to cope with its needs language is organized around two kinds of meanings: the ideational and the interpersonal. A third metafunctional component, the textual, give relevance to the first two.

Macarena Garcia	45’ to 1:07:00	-Meaning potential changes over time, it always increases and it is modulated and that it is transmitted to the next generation -All human beings are able to develop the meaning potential in our brain. The meaning potential expands as we learn different languages System: -Writing increases the meaning potential. Writing is a contextualized process and its meaning arises throughout the building of language structures and knowledge -Any human being achieves the meaning potential of the whole system -Human beings try to improve the language by making new designs -The meaning potential adds new meanings and it is a significant factor  -Translators provide multilingualism by using different target language discourses and discourse patterns of other languages as well.
