Abstract
Este artículo analiza materiales lingüísticos recopilados en la comunidad miskita de Kakabila, en la RAAS, que muestran de manera clara diferencias en el uso del lenguaje entre los niños y los adultos; según estas categorías son concebidas localmente. Se examina tres registros de habla: “respetuoso”, “de mal gusto” y “vergonzante”, al igual que el bilingüismo miskito-ingles. Primero, en términos de la reproducción social, y después desde la perspectiva que los niños tienen de estos procesos. La comprensión que los niños tienen de los fenómenos sociolingüísticos aquí estudiados es analizada a partir de ciertos juegos verbales secretos que ellos desarrollan. Estos juegos, se argumenta aquí, les permiten a los niños adquirir competencias sociales que se transmiten a través de ellos. = This article considers material from Kakabila, a village on Nicaragua’s Mosquito Coast, where differences between adults and children, as these categories are locally imagined, find unusually clear expression in various forms of linguistic performance. Three closely linked speech registers known as respect, bad joke and shame, and Anglo-Miskitu bilingualism, are examined; first in terms of their roles in processes of social reproduction and then in terms of children’s perspectives on these processes. Children’s understandings of these phenomena are also considered in terms of a children’s game called Prinkel-In-De-Sasa, and Gibberish, a collection of secret languages used exclusively by children. Both Prinkel-In-De-Sasa and Gibberish, it is argued, allow children, through play, to understand more comprehensively the politics of social reproduction as these are mediated through language.
