| Sumario: | The aim of this work is to analyze the functions of the treatment formula gato in young people. The theoretical-methodological proposal compiles development in sociocultural pragmatics (Bravo, 1999), ethnographic methodology (Hymes, 1986) and reticular analysis (Hanneman, 2000). The corpus was created from a fieldwork from a 6th year secondary school course from the province of Buenos Aires. For this research, twelve interactions were analyzed in classes of different subjects, with participants between 17 and 18 years old who use gato. Based on the theoretical-methodological work carried out, we seek to show: 1) the use of the treatmnt gato, among young people who are at a minimum interpersonal distance within the network of friends, reinforces directive speech acts (especially, requests); 2) the treatment gato used by these young people, towards others who are outside their network of friends, constitutes a threatening order and highlights the content of the affiliation image to the group itself (Bravo, 1999). Finally, the treatment gato de mierda constitutes an intensification of threat in impolite acts, among participants who are two or more steps away within their network of friends. |
