Ahora bien, ¿hasta qué punto estas perspectivas son excluyentes? Para responder a esta pregunta, debemos considerar una serie de cuestiones. En primer lugar, la hipótesis comunicativa asume una perspectiva amplia acerca del desarrollo de la cognición social, mientras que la hipótesis más específicamente lingüística, sin negar la existencia de otras habilidades sociocognitivas, se centra en el desarrollo de un aspecto específico, la CFC. Si, como mencionábamos en la introducción, entendemos las habilidades socio- cognitivas en términos de un desarrollo amplio y gradual, podemos considerar que la CFC es un hito particular dentro de este desarrollo, y por lo tanto ambas hipótesis no son incompatibles En segundo lugar, y siguiendo una propuesta de Astington y Baird (2005b), para comprender la influencia del lenguaje sobre la TM es necesario abordar el desarrollo lingüístico desde su doble vertiente, comunicativa y representacional. Esta misma distinción funcional puede utilizarse para diferenciar entre ambas hipótesis cau-sales: mientras que la primera de ellas enfatiza la función comunicativa e interpersonal del lenguaje, la segunda hace hincapié en la función del lenguaje en tanto que instru-mento de representación intraindividual. Justamente, si consideramos que estas dos funciones no son contrapuestas sino complementarias, podemos concluir que las dos hipótesis que estamos considerando son dos versiones igualmente complementarias acerca del papel facilitador del lenguaje para la emergencia de la TM.
