Politeness, power and solidarity: perception of university teachers on the use of the pronominal system in the classroom
Journal Title: Textos en Proceso - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper studies the perception of the use of the pronominal system in classroom context of some professors from the Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences, of the University of the Republic (Uruguay). The sample consists of 12 informants, all of them professors of the aforementioned institution. In-depth interviews were carried out in order to analyze their perceptions of the phenomenon in question. The first stage of this research seeks to study how professors address their students and vice versa, always from the professors’ perspective. The results show solidarity of the pronominal system, revealing greater preference for pronominal formulas of proximity or in their absence a combination with those of distance. The second stage of this research will look into the students’ perceptions of the same phenomenon.
