“…In greetings, as in any other communicative event, conformity to societal rules, or code of conduct, especially respect for elders and superiors, reciprocal respect for one another, condescension, accommodation and modesty are instances of the co-operative-politeness principles which interlocutors must observe. Greetings and politeness according to Coulthard (1985) and Leech (1983) are universal concepts which are inseparable and indispensable. They are both levels of conversational interactions.…”

The ethnography of communication, particularly of greetings, among speakers of some Yoruba dialects is the major concern of this paper. The author observed that the much-cherished, rich culture of greetings, among Yoruba, which the author grew up to know, is fast being eroded by linguistic globalization and modernization. The study and documentation of the sociolinguistic structure of greetings are both anthropological and ethnographic because greetings, as part of Speech Act, belong to the domain of language and culture. Describing language behavior observed daily in different cultures is the purview of an ethnographer. A detailed comparison of greetings among speakers of three Yoruba dialects (Igbomina, Ijesa, Ijebu) can no longer be regarded as a compulsive desideratum, because documentary linguistics is now seen as a salvage work. Our work is therefore that of data collection, organization, transcription, translation and interpretation of the morpho-syntax and semantics of greetings in the three dialects. The rationale for the study is based on our belief that since language is rooted in a speech community, in its history and culture, each language or dialect is unlike any other language, hence no data can be regarded as the same. By the same token, linguistic data are not easily replicable. Because data from extinct dialects are not easily replaceable, documenting greetings in these dialects will make them accessible to others, thus saving them from gradual extinction.

La caracterización de la enseñanza como conjunto de técnicas para intervenir en los aprendizajes: un análisis crítico educação | Santa Maria | v. 41 | n. 3 | p. 617-630 | set./dez. 2016 Este trabajo indaga las condiciones de producción del traslado de la atención investigativa y operativa desde las figuras de la enseñanza a las del aprendizaje. La enseñanza, entendida como el campo de la conservación del conocimiento históricamente constituido, en su encuentro con las dinámicas de la inestabilidad y la contingencia que llamamos saber, incluye el aprendizaje, pero no se agota en él. El aprendizaje es la respuesta dada por los individuos en sus procesos adaptativos y de construcción de sus herramientas intelectuales y ha requerido para su validación en el campo de la enseñanza los aportes de la psicología. La proclamación de la centralidad de los procesos del aprendizaje durante el siglo XX en el campo pedagógico es una transformación teórica e ideológica capital, que buscamos explorar con minuciosidad desde la perspectiva dialécticamente opuesta, conocida como teoría del acontecimiento de enseñanza. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Enseñanza; Aprendizaje; Teoría de la acción; Teoría del acontecimiento.This paper investigates the conditions of production in which research and operational attention changed from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning. Teaching, understood as the field of historically constituted knowledge, which encounters the instability and contingency we name cognizance, includes learning, but it also goes beyond it. Learning is the individuals´ response in their processes of adaptation and construction of their intellectual tools, and it has required the contribution of psychology for its validation in the field of teaching. The claim of the centrality of learning processes during the 20th century in the field of pedagogy is a key ideological and theoretical transformation. We intend to explore it thoroughly from the dialectically opposed perspective of the theory known as event of teaching.

Abstract. The potentialities in the application of the discourse analysis method to study a political discourse as a current political practice are shown. The authors, using the Foucault methodology, offer a sociological definition for the political discourse. It is the authors' opinion that the approach mentioned allows investigating a political discourse as a practice for the formation of a certain reality, specific agents, institutions and organizations. A political discourse is a simulative dynamic model of political area where various subdiscourses interact, thus creating their own ideas of policy, symbols and images. Subdiscourses of political leaders become dominating. Inasmuch as a political discourse in a current political system is carried out with the aid of mass media, it could be considered as a media discourse of policy. The authors consider the representation as a basic mechanism for the formation of a political discourse, by the example of the representation of the image of V.V. Putin, the President of the Russian Federation. The representation of a political leader image in a political discourse has a number of peculiarities. It is carried out on the basis of certain principles with the aid of the system of political codes. Empiric investigations allowed making a conclusion that the main symbolic image for the Russian President is an image of a super-hero. It is the authors' opinion, the image of V.V. Putin as a leader super-hero is determined by the specificity of the Russian political culture within the limits of which a leader is a center of power establishing an authoritarian style of ruling. The authors show the process of the political legitimacy displacement from the institutional level to the personal one by means of mass media. A political leader gains a status of a subject establishing moral, social and value reference points for the whole of the society.
