Summary/Abstract: The article discusses some theoretical positions on the scope, nature and procedure of institutionalization. They address the issue of the symbolic interaction of the various institutes. From such starting points, Berger and Luckmann deduce the understanding that the integrativeness of meanings is implemented emphatically subjectively. The problematization of the process is sought in the mechanism of internalization of socially accepted meanings by the individual. The objective meaning of the institutional order is given, well–known and understandable to the individual. The existence of unity between institutional actions and meanings within each individual biography is assumed and the entire available stock of knowledge is updated. The dependence institutional model – institutional meanings is validated. The authors fix the cognitive problematizations in the process of institutional segmentation in the provision of integrative meanings and in the legitimacy of the institutional activity and in the presence of isolated semantic subverses in the society. The emphasis is on the legitimizing affirmation of the semantic universes.
