RIOLFI, Claudia Rosa. Criando o novo com as mesmas velhas palavras. In Proceedings of the 5. Colóquio do LEPSI IP/FE-USP, 2004 [online]. 2004 [cited 04 May 2024]. Available from: <http://www.proceedings.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=MSC0000000032004000100001&lng=en&nrm=iso> .

In the present article, in which I analyze fragments of dialogues between children and adults, I search to describe the child´s walking trhough the language along its childhood. Its objetctive is to lighten one question that still continues to interest me: if, when everybody is born, the words that he has to learn are the same ones, how is it possible that the miracle of creation happens in the human world? To answer this question, I focus those moments in which two children were able to separate themselves from their culture´s impositions and, therefore, could invent different meanings to the same words. The article concludes that the words are "old" only to the adult beings that think that the linguistc sign functions in a immutable way, and, therefore, experience a great difficulty to make themselves opened to the language´s effects.
