El principio pragmalingüístico de afiliación y la gestión del espacio intercomunicativo

Abstract

The subject of the article is a sociopragmatic interactional principle of affiliation associated with the management of communication space. The analyzed conversational strategies of a Spanish language community (grammaticized imperatives, phatic forms of vocative, turn-taking) have been described not so much on the basis of the so-called strategic categories (connected as a rule with situational or contextual conditions), but on the basis of the notion of communicational ethos associated for some time now with research in the field of pragmalinguistics, ethnolinguistics and cross cultural communication.
