Description:In this theoretical review, the trajectory of the metalinguistic lexicon in contemporary thought is traced from the origins of the notion of metalanguage and the association of the metalinguistic function with the everyday usage of language, to the irruption of terms such as metatext or metadiscourse, which point to a certain transtextual and pragmatic framing of the enunciation. Through an account of the theoretical problems in which the metalinguistic vocabulary was emerging, the inevitable dispersion of the metalinguistic vocabulary in the contemporary theorization of language becomes evident.
