This paper aims at presenting the connection between formative processes and the linguistic structure of cognition in Hegel´s theory of consciousness, developed in the Philosophy of Spirit (1803/04). First I consider the general aspects of Hegel´s above-mentioned theory of consciousness. Then I attempt to interpret this theory as related to formative processes of practical-cognitive capacities. After this the paper focuses on the relation of language and theoretical reason, as it is presented by Hegel in his Philosophy of Spirit. Finally, I analyze the linguistic structuration of cognition within the context of social processes of consciousness development.
