Abstract
When working with the relation between language and cosmogony from a discursive point of view, we bump into different aspects inherent to the social organization of the Kurâ Bakairi, materialized in the way one can, or cannot, make use of the set of language formatives. Languages are constituted by their historicity, forged, above all, by texts that are the founders of the identity of the people and of the language. It is a matter of putting into question a founding interdiction in the very structure of language itself. In theoretical terms, we embrace assumptions offered by the French school of Discourse Analysis. And there we highlight that this organization of the world in a political-cosmogonic bias comes to constitute the discursive materiality of language in several grammatical components.
