After reviewing observations of the spectral solar features originated either in the chromospheric layers or in the photospheric layers, from the point of view of the observations, and after having shown the strikingly discrepant set of interpretations that can be found currently in literature, a numerical experiment is performed in a case not too different from the solar case. It is shown that the use of the line bisector to determine, from the asymmetry of a single line, the trend of the velocity field might be considerably misleading, a fact which explains partly the results published in literature.
