Public demonstrations claiming justice for femicides’ victims have become recurrent. Taking into account this scenario, the main aim of this work is to discursively analyse a popular song that is frequently evocated in many demonstrations as a calling for justice due to femicides: “Señor/vecino, señora/vecina, no sea indiferente, nos matan a las pibas en la cara de la gente” (Mister/Neighbour/Miss, don’t be indifferent, they kill our girls in people’s faces). Our hypothesis is that the use of the dative pronoun nos is in the present case an affectation dative that grammaticalizes an strategy whose communicational aim is to present femicides as a problem that involves the society as a whole and not only women, who are the direct victims. The work is framed within the Prototype Theory in cognitive linguistics that states a conception of grammar as emergent. In this perspective, signs are analysed accordingly to their use in order to find the motivation that leads the speaker to produce a specific form in a certain context. La violencia de género, entendida como una práctica estructural que viola los derechos humanos y las libertades fundamentales, es una seria problemática en la Argentina. Las marchas por pedido de justicia para víctimas de femicidios se han vuelto cotidianas. Considerando este estado de cosas, el principal objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar discursivamente un canto popular que se entona en varias marchas por justicia para las víctimas de femicidio: “Señor/vecino, señora/vecina, no sea indiferente, nos matan a las pibas en la cara de la gente”. Sostenemos la hipótesis de que el uso del pronombre dativo nos en este canto constituye un dativo de afectación que gramaticaliza una estrategia cuyo objetivo comunicativo es presentar a los femicidios como una problemática que afecta a la sociedad en su conjunto y no solo a las mujeres (víctimas directas). El trabajo se enmarca en el Enfoque Cognitivo Prototípico, que postula una concepción de la gramática como emergente del discurso. Desde este enfoque, los signos se analizan en base a su uso a fin de encontrar la causa o motivación que conduce al hablante a producir una determinada forma en un contexto determinado.

Gender-based violence, understood as a structural matter that jeopardizes human rights and fundamental liberties, is an enormous social issue in Argentina. Public demonstrations claiming justice for femicides’ victims have become recurrent. Taking into account this scenario, the main aim of this work is to discursively analyse a popular song that is frequently evocated in many demonstrations as a calling for justice due to femicides: “Señor/vecino, señora/vecina, no sea indiferente, nos matan a las pibas en la cara de la gente” (Mister/Neighbour/Miss, don’t be indifferent, they kill our girls in people’s faces). Our hypothesis is that the use of the dative pronoun nos is in the present case an affectation dative that grammaticalizes an strategy whose communicational aim is to present femicides as a problem that involves the society as a whole and not only women, who are the direct victims.
The work is framed within the Prototype Theory in cognitive linguistics that states a conception of grammar as emergent. In this perspective, signs are analysed accordingly to their use in order to find the motivation that leads the speaker to produce a specific form in a certain context. |
