ABSTRACT

A linguistic community is formed by individuals that have in common a variety of language and also they share consensus, rules, and norms for the correct use of it. One of the features that define a community is the way in that the components of it experimentally see their own interrelationships. For example, gestures, the way they look, walk, valuations, moral norms recognition with which are valued and the behavior rules. Another feature that defines a community is the existence of an intense communication among their members and also that these members feel that they are symbolically integrated in terms of communication. Every work group organizes itself in a way that its members do not realize that a linguistic community is spontaneously established. As it was stated, this phenomenon emerges spontaneously, a linguistic community establishes itself without any effort and in it essence and objective it functions to establish communication (1). The development of this linguistic community depends on a great level of the results of the work carried out in the Forensic Psychiatry Service that at the same time formed a linguistic community with its own characteristics imposed due to the communicative relations that are developed in this service, that is why its spontaneously character and it answer to the involved individuals interests in this process (2).
