Resumen

RESUMEN
Este artículo examina el uso de los nombres (a través de apodos, referencias a terceras personas y relatos sobre ‘motes’) que hace un grupo de iguales de niños y niñas en sus interacciones espontáneas. Las prácticas de nombramiento tienen lugar en diferentes situaciones interactivas, como conflictos, narraciones o negociaciones y señalan diferentes grados de afiliación, inclusión o exclusión entre los iguales. El uso eficaz de estos nombres implica conocimientos compartidos por los miembros del grupo de iguales y, a su vez, estos conocimientos forman parte de ámbitos diferentes, y más o menos penetrables por terceras partes externas, de su cultura infantil (e.g. personajes populares de los medios de comunicación, personajes del barrio o participantes en relaciones íntimas). En consecuencia, la utilización de distintas clases de nombres informa sobre el lugar que ocupa cada interlocutor en el grupo entendido como comunidad interpretativa. Igualmente, el análisis del uso de nombres sirve para desentrañar aspectos de la estructura social del grupo de iguales. Los datos del trabajo provienen de una etnografía lingüística en torno a las interacciones entre iguales de un grupo de niños y niñas mayoritariamente de etnia gitana de una ciudad española de pequeño tamaño.

PALABRAS CLAVE: Interacción entre iguales - Comunidad interpretativa - Nombres - Etnografía lingüística.

 

ABSTRACT
This article examines how members of a child peer group use names (through nicknames, references to third parties and narratives around names) in their spontaneous interactions. Naming practices take place in different interactional situations, such as conflicts, narratives or negotiations and they signal different forms of affiliation, inclusion or exclusion in the peer group. Efficient use of names involves shared knowledge between members of the peer group and this knowledge is related to different domains, which are more or less accessible to external third parties, of their peer culture (e.g. media figures, neighborhood characters or participants in intimate relationships). Consequently, name use provides information on the place that each interlocutor plays in the group understood as an interpretive community. Also, the analysis of name use can uncover aspects of the peer group’s social structure. The data of this study comes from a linguistic ethnography focused on peer interactions of a mostly Gitano group of children from a small city in Spain.


KEYWORDS: Peer interactions - Interpretive community - Names - Linguistic thnography.
