Sociolinguistic is the discipline related with the aspects of the society that influence in the use of the language, as the cultural norms and the context in the speakers' environment. It studies the language like a system of signs in the social context. This paper has as main objective the design of a model for the study of this discipline according to the age of individuals, based on the cognitive fuzzy maps. Fuzzy cognitive maps are tools that allow us to represent the knowledge by means of the relationship of concepts, where for each relationship it is associated a weight in the interval [-1, 1] or [0, 1] that means the degree of each relationship among concepts, and moreover if this it is direct or inverse. The proposed model is an approach to the topic that will allow us carrying out predictions on possible scenarios, besides to spread and to share the results obtained by each one of the investigators interested in the topic.

This reflection paper is part of the research "Methods of the imagined city", raised on the study of the urban imaginary in the city of Tunja in the research line "Design of Visual Message", supported by the research group Xisqua of the University of Boyacá. First, it presents an overview of authors and experiences in which the development of cognitive maps was used as a methodological tool for the identification of urban imagery. This theoretical foundation is the basis of a local study that focuses on the analysis and categorization of maps developed by residents of Tunja, where it resulted on identifying different characteristics related to the multiple perceptions of citizens, their knowledge of the city and image construction thereof.

This article reflects on how cartography constitutes of a unique spatial language, which produces a political image of the territory that illustrates prevailing power concepts. The emphasis on the map, for this discussion, tries to introduce a question about the ethical and political implications inherent in cartography and open a door to explore the connections between cartography, social representations of the territory and spatial behavior of individuals and social collectives. The article begins with a brief review of the history of cartography, and then turns its attention to critical cartography and the possibilities of using "cognitive maps" as a methodology to execute cartographical exercises with local communities. Some crucial challenges for a collaborative and interactive cartography are suggested at the end. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
