About
This work has been written from a personal standpoint which in acceptance of linguistic relativity theories and the Saphir-Whorfian view that language constraints and creates ways of understanding the world (Duranti, 1997; Foley, 1997). Theories which have informed this work relate to cross-cultural communication; language choice, constructions of discourses for HIV prevention; in-group membership; reflective, experiential and participatory education; and code-switching and face-saving. At the heart of this thesis is a desire to create successful "rituals of social magic" (Bourdieu, 1991 p111), in which all participants collaborate in production and reproduction of a legitimate language for more effective prevention of HIV transmission.
