ABSTRACT
The historicization of linguistics, as a subdivision of the science of history, is limited to the knowledge of the relations between the ideological and/or scientific reality of linguistics and the objective reality of history. Historical materialism provides the general framework for the theory of emergence. According to Marx there is no history of politics, law, science, religion and so forth because these realities are emergences of what is defined here as history. The conclusions of Chervel are agnostic and polemic: to him, school grammar is nothing but the ideology of a conformism actualized in the teaching of orthography. Jucquois says that the emergence of comparativism cannot occur without the historical possibility for comparison, but the theory of comparativism will finally fade out even if these possibilities continue to grow. The emergence of a new linguistic theory is always the result of actions and processes in a society.
