Abstract

This article aims at describing how participants in a classroom have to negotiate social meanings, like a rural identity. The data we analyze were gathered during an ethnographic research, in a multilingual community (Portuguese, Brazilian and Ukrainian), in southern Brazil. From an Interactional Sociolinguistic perspective, this paper discusses how some sociolinguistic concepts have helped understand interactional events in school. For this aim, concepts such as social gathering, context, frame, footing, alignment, contextualization cues and participation structures are reviewed, so as to discuss the view of interaction within this theoretical model. Results evidence that the microanalysis of interactional practices at school, such as those that involve participation and the management of the social identities, point to the macro-social conflicts that constitute the members of a community.

Key words: interaction, school practices, social identities, rural community.
