Abstract

This work investigates different points of view about relationships involving language within the field of education, and a critical sociological outlook with a glottopolitical perspective on the social alchemy of agencies, rarities, and capitals that are at play. The objective is to explore the social uses of indigenous languages in training contexts that imply an update of the language not only as a means of communication and an object of teaching, but also as a fundamental dimension that intervenes in the status and conditions of use of the languages, and the teaching and learning processes. Next, we resume several theoretical-methodological issues in the work of Pierre Bourdieu (2000, 2014, 2022) to point out some contributions to the study of language in society from structuralist constructivism.
