WEISS, Eduardo y VEGA CRUZ, Ana Beatriz. The Conversations of Young Students in Public Transportation. RMIE [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.61, pp.455-481. ISSN 1405-6666.
High school students devote a large part of their life to talking with friends, classmates, and girlfriends/boyfriends. Why do they talk and what do they talk about? To answer these questions, an interviewer listened, without intervening, to conversations among young people using public urban transportation. Students talk to become better acquainted and share their likes and interests; in other words, to socialize. In their conversations, they share experiences, release emotions, and form criteria regarding what is desirable and acceptable; that is, they open spaces of reflection in their life and socialize with peers. The preponderant topics are romantic relationships and school matters, in which students prove to be strategists of their profession. Our analysis also studied gender differences and differences in conversations between males and females, and failed to encounter the "male conversational domination" referred to in the bibliography.
