Resumo

The present article is the result of the analysis of four different communicative situations which form part of the author's ordinary professional life at a Catalan university. By applying a concept such as norms of interaction and interpretation, it is shown how the ethnographic approach allows us to integrate a linguistic description and a socio-cultural explanation of discourse.
