Abstract

Le but de cet article est d'examiner l'usage des jurons, une infraction criminelle mineure, tel qu'il apparaît dans un quartier de Gouyave, une petite ville sur la côte ouest de Grenade, dans les Antilles. C'est un cas ou on peut analyser les rapports des normes d'un groupe avec la loi. Cette étude conclue à l'unité de la structure normative de Grenade, ou les perspectives différentes de la classe inférieure et de la cour sont liées entre elles et ou il existe un consensus sur la supériorité du comportement et des normes de la classe moyenne.
