This article presents another part of the results of the research project Concepciones de los estudiantes de educación básica secundaria y media de Bogotá sobre la entidad léxica tarea escolar (DLE -427-16), based on the approaches of the Semantics of the Argumentative Possibilities (SPA); theoretical orientation that centers its interest in the study of the lexical meaning and its relation with the values, as well as with the representations, individual and social, that the lexical forms carry. This is based on the approach that speakers of a language, in discursive use, offer a discursive axiologization of the world that is evident at the lexical level. For the purpose of establishing this axiologization, is used, methodologically, the analysis of a lexical corpus obtained from the application of questionnaires that allow us to have a sample of the discursive production of speakers, in this case, secondary and middle school students in Bogotá. This text offers the analysis of the data obtained, mainly with regard to the argumentative chains derived from the lexical meaning, as well as the discourses of the students who demand the continuity of the homework as a necessary and useful school activity. In this way, the text offers the reasons that the population in question put forward so that the homework is maintained as part of the process of educating individuals.

Keywords : homework; mental representation; lexicon; stereotype; semantics.
