This article response to the need to help solve the shortcomings that university students face when reading and analyzing written academic texts. It parts from the belief that language plays a fundamental role in the development of cognitive processes; and there fore, it is necessary to promote within the students a discursive competence, focused on acquiring elements for the appropriation of knowledge.
The article specifies items or analysis categories of the semiotic speech which can view the practice of reading as a deliberate, gradual and strategic process, oriented towards giving meaning to each text and to assume it in a critical and autonomous manner. In addition, they corroborate that language is a speech in action which put into scene cognitive, axiological and linguistic actors whose purpose is to generate communication events that go beyond the simple transmission of messages.
