A descriptive study was carried out on the discourse and textual operations of the nominalizations in essays produced by students from primary and secondary school. Sixty texts were gathered at a private school of Córdoba (Argentina), and they were analyzed following the ideas of Soto y Zenteno (2004) on the identification of reference, predicate, textualization and hierarchical organization of the information as indicators of language development. Empirical evidence corroborates the hypothesis that there exists a close relation between the ontogenesis of these nominal functions and the progress made by the students during the process of linguistic literacy.
