RESUMEN
Los pediatras vigilamos el desarrollo del lenguaje como uno de los componentes del desarrollo infantil. Sin embargo, el lenguaje es algo más que eso. La trasformación del sentido mágico que inicialmente tuvo la palabra (mito) en un sentido representativo del objeto (logos) llevó unos 40 000 años. Con la adquisición del lenguaje, el hombre fue capaz de pensar, de desarrollar el pensamiento; éste y la palabra van de la mano, pero este logro tuvo un alto precio, que fue el alejamiento del hombre de la naturaleza. La palabra pasó a ser, así, una construcción social que, lejos de representar los objetos a los que se refería, fue capaz de asignar atributos y significado a las cosas decimos que algo "vale" cuando, en realidad, "cuesta". El lenguaje es también parte del sujeto; según Lacan, estamos "constituidos" por el lenguaje. Promoviendo el lenguaje, contribuimos a la promoción de la persona del niño como individuo y como ser social.
ABSTRACT
Pediatrician carry out the surveillance of language in preschool children as one of the components of child development (language, fine and gross motor skills, etc.). However, language is more than that. The process of transformation of the magic meaning on the word present in the initial stages of human evolution (Myth period) into a new, symbolic meaning as representative of the object (Logos period) took around 40,000 years. With the mastering of language, man was capable of thinking; from then onwards, these two functions, thought and language, became inextricably linked, the evolved hand in hand. But this achievement had a high price the alienation of man from nature. Hence, language became a social construction which, far from representing the objects of nature, was capable of assigning attributes and meaning to the objects themselves. Language can be used as a commercial strategy (making the words value and cost indistinguishable). According to Lacan, language is also a part of the subject, we are constructed by language. By promoting language in children we contribute to the promotion of the child as a person, as an individual and as a social being.
