This is an invitation for exploring what happens when we reflect about observing our observing that which we distinguish as culture, in a domain of reflection oriented to comprehend the role of language in social research studies. It is a reflexive invitation for seeing the simplicities and complexities about the nature of humanness that occurs in and through language, and about the conditions that the nature of structural determined entities such as human beings entail for our co-existence.
By seriously taking into account the comprehension of the Observer (as the distinction of observing our observing) I invite this reflection in a context of awareness of three different domains; namely Observer, observing and observed I claim that these three domains constitute our experience-existence-action as human beings that operate as observers making distinctions. Therefore, I propose to look at our human existence as languaging-sentient-observer beings that live in recursive dynamics of continuous transformations of their inner feelings, emotions and doings.

I am moved to make this reflection regarding the role of language in social research studies from my experience that self-consciousness about what we accept as the core elements in the configuration of the particular manner in which we to do things as a culture is fundamental for conserving those core elements, and consequently is what determines the particular manner in which a culture is realized by the persons who constitutes it.
