El chisme y su función en la conversación
(Universidad Internacional de La Rioja, 2009) Lourdes G. de Pietrosemoli
Gossip has played an important role in the evolution of human intelligence and social life (Dunbar, 2004, Davis & McLeod, 2003). It plays a key role in cultural learning (Baumeister, Zhang, & Vohs, 2004) and it is relevant as a source of information in social evaluation (Suls, 1977; Wert & Salovey, 2004, 2004, 2004 b).\nThis paper examines seven gossip situations with the aim of trying to establish their roles in everyday conversation. Following Haviland, (1977) gossip is considered as a narrative event within conversational discourse, and, according to one of the proposed methodologies for its analysis (Foster 2004), the seven situations are examined in the light of symmetrical or asymmetrical relations and the chances of acceptance or rejection on the part of the gossip recipient.\nBased on the analysis, I propose that gossip in everyday conversation can be assigned the following functions: a) economy of information; b) maintenance of the relationship between partners; c) definition (or re-definition) of the speaker and hearer�s personae at the time of the gossip exchange; d) rapprochement, estrangement, or re-adjusting of positions in the scale of values, beliefs, ascriptions, etc., of gossip-partners.
El estrés como causa de cambio lingüístico: una visión de la teoría criollista de Bickerton desde la problemática de la afasia
(Universidad Internacional de La Rioja, 2008) Lourdes G. de Pietrosemoli; Alexandra Álvarez Muro
According to Bickerton (1981), Creole languages have been developed in psychological and\nlinguistic stress situations. As a puzzling result, creoles resemble each other more than they\nresemble �linguistically speaking� the dominant language of the environment. Among the features\nof Creole languages are: use of minimal phonetic-phonological systems, with non-marked elements;\nparatactic constructions or simple syntax with elements attached by conjunction, and use of\npragmatic discursive modes, linked to the context (Givón, 1979). This paper suggests that aphasia\ncan also be conceived as the result of a psychological and linguistic stress situation similar to that\ndescribed for creoles, in which speakers must address their communication needs with resources of\nuniversal grammar.
