The current study analyzed possible relation between the dialogic interaction of the duo mother-child with praxic limitations and the exercise of maternal function. It tries, specifically, to categorize the types of dialogic interactions found, to analyze the interference or not of praxic limitation of children on the interpretation process by the mother and the reflexes of maternal function over the mother-child dialog. Five mother-child diad took part on the study, with the interaction of these duos being filmed, on which the play, the relation mother-child, as well the exercise of maternal function were filmed. Precarious bonds on the relation mother-child, difficulty on the exercise of maternal function, directive, intrusive or apathetic and away mothers were observed. For subjects, children of mothers that could evolve on the exercise of maternal function, cases which the bond had a significant improvement, it was observed a greater language evolution. The dialogic analyzes demonstrated that verbal dyspraxia doesn't prevent the interpretation process, it can only limit it. However, the exercise of maternal function seems to have a more important effect on the mother-child dialog.
