This work is guided by the hypothesis that language, as the object of study of linguistics, cannot be completely formalized. With the reception of the CLG in various parts of the world throughout the twentieth century, some criticisms about this concept were established, many of which were based on the consideration of language strictly as a formal object that moves away from empirical and social phenomena. Nevertheless, it is possible to note that the delimitation of language is not unrelated to socially instituted facts.
