title: [The primary function of words in action].
abstract: The task of characterising functions in relation to the informal aspects of psychiatric care constitutes the heart of research results. An illustration based on the function of words in action. Words in action are full, they respond to a demand for reliability. They are words which restore speech, comment and support so that we can hold on to them as a channel for the construction of a connection.
