%0 Journal Article %T El cambio lexem¨¢tico como signo antropol¨®gico en dos versiones de un cuento tradicional %A Coto de Attilio %A Patricia H. %J Runa %D 2009 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X this paper analyzes a new version of the well-known story "the wicked blacksmith and the devil", spread around a semi-urbanized area inhabited by migrants from the argentine coastal zone. the starting point is the concept of meta-code as a specific group interaction mode. oral narratives may be considered as part or expressions of such meta-codes and, therefore, their analysis will be more complex, in order to understand the text within its contexts and in its ideological context. it is necessary, then, to resort to a narratological methodology which rescues oral narratives' discursive strategies, as well as to a linguistic and semiotic methodology which rescues pronouncements and observes their significance with respect to intertextual, extratextual and contextual relations. %K oral narratives %K migrants %K contexts %K ideological context. %U http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1851-96282009000200004&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
