El presente trabajo se propone ofrecer algunas coordenadas iniciales para un proyecto más amplio en torno al examen crítico de la figura del informante tal como la misma aparece en diversas instancias de la historia de la lingüística sobre todo en América del Sur, en un período que en principio abarca desde finales del siglo XIX hasta avanzado el siglo XX. La dinámica del lenguaje que se propone observar aquí es la de su construcción como objeto de conocimiento a través de la producción de un discurso autorizado por su condición de científico, que pugna por producir una representación sobre la realidad empírica de su objeto, que puede resultar a su vez en una intervención directa en el mismo, una vez más, como artefacto político producido discursivamente.

| description |
This paper aims to offer some initial coordinates for a broader project on the critical examination of the figure of the informant as it appears in various instances of the history of linguistics, especially in South America, in a period that initially spans from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century. The dynamics of language that we propose to observe here is that of its construction as an object of knowledge through the production of a discourse authorized by its scientific condition, which strives to produce a representation of the empirical reality of its object, which may in turn result in a direct intervention in it, once again, as a discursively produced political artifact. |
