The functions of the speech are the different objectives in which the emisor can use the lenguage in particular communicative situation. There are three basic functions :
- Apelative function

-Representative function

1. Representative or referencial function:

In this typology are usual verbs in 3rd person and an objective lexical.

2. Expressive or emotive function:

Emisor transmits his feelings and emotions ,and his opinions.
In this function are usual: verbs in 1st person, interjections and  exclamations, and a subjective lexical.
