The sample was obtained from twelve Universidad Simón Bolívar, Venezuela, freshmen students. The corpus was made up of the schemes written by the students, as well as the essays as support resources that helped evaluate the intertextuality between text and essay (presence/absence of each argument in the essay and the strength of each argument in the essay). The results show a clear intentional (strategic) mastery in both the optional linguistic decision-making at all the instantiation levels of the sentence statement and the relationship of the pragmatic, textual and cognitive levels.
