In this paper, we stand out the path undertaken by the Brazilian researcher Cláudia de Lemos, in the field of language acquisition, in search of a theory that could account for issues related to the investigation of the child’s linguistic path. We present some of her main discussions about a theorical proposition about language that contemplates child speech as non-analyzed speech, that is, of one theory based on the subject/language relationship, that departs from the notion of acquisition as a result of developmental stages. In this perspective, we focus on the dialogue proposal as a unit of analysis and the structural view of linguistic analysis. In addition, we take up important points of the author’s theoretical formulation as the notion of capture, in which the child would be captured by language even before it begins to speak, and, also, the notion of subject as an effect of language, constituted from the relationship with the other-speaker. Thereby, the present essay emphasizes the importance of admitting that changes and reformulations of a given proposal do not make it impossible Thus, this essay emphasuzes the importance of admitting that changes and reformulations of a particular proposal do not make it unfeasible its contribution to the proposed field, since every theoretical outline is not closed in itself and, therefore, can be refuted or reformulated.
