In this sense, this research assumed that the TAC is the interaction that actors perform for social construction, based on language. Likewise, in the methodological process three stages were developed: descriptive, analytical and interpretative; considering the postulates raised by the critical analysis of discourse from the critical-social perspective proposed by Neyla Pardo. It stands out in this research that the discourse that is built around the Rabanal wasteland is polysemic and ambiguous and does not favor consensus. Keywords—Language, TAC, Wasteland, ACD, LEEN, Rabanal. ________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION Jürgen Habermas introduces language in communicative processes, as an element that allows "elucidating the world of life” (Habermas, 1981:10) and unveiling it from intersubjectivity. This approach led to the recognition of the importance of thinking the world of life around the Rabanal wasteland (Habermas, 1981:10) and trying to elucidate it, in order to understand the actions that are generated and reverted against a natural reserve, which generates environmental processes, ecological and conceptual constructions elaborated from language and that lead to practices that favor or disfavor human existence. Therefore, the world of life that develops around the wasteland of Rabanal, shows the ecological deterioration, from mining, agricultural and livestock activities product of conceptual constructions, elaborated from the language and that are reverted into actions that degrade the environment and do not allow the development of consensus, leading to favorable practices for all social actors living around this natural reserve. This problem leads to answer the question: * Research article product of the research project entitled "Symbolic interaction around the concept of wasteland in the Rabanal area.
