Lexical Functional Grammar

Norma Mendoza-Denton's Homegirls: Language and Cultural Practice Among Latina Youth Gangs is a study in socio cultural linguistics. This ethnography details the workings of a subculture of Latina females who were involved in gang life in the mid-1990's. Mendoza makes clear in her introduction that her book is an attempt to make this world accessible to a variety of readers, though the language of the book delves at times into the specialized fields of linguistics, anthropology, and criminology. None the less, her book remains easy to read and understand, and an enjoyable study in linguistic and cultural practices of a certain ethnic group. Interestingly, during the course of her illustration, Mendoza-Denton attempts to show how language can represent more than the spoken or written word; language in her view represents the "life-world picture of the people with whom we work" (p. 3, Norma Mendoza-Denton). Thus we as an audience must understand that language becomes an intricate system of signs that can include make-up, music, hairstyles, consumer items, and a host of other symbols that make up the cultural and personal identity of a person. Already at this point in the book, I was fascinated to learn that language can constitute such a broad area. Indeed, as the book progresses, Mendoza-Denton will make use of not only speech, but many complex symbolic signals and exchanges that connect her participants to the larger cultural practices of binary identities, gender, and national relationships.

Mendoza-Denton focuses particularly on the Norte and Sur gangs, which are the largest Latino gangs in California. She doesn't linger on violence and drugs, as an audience for this book might expect, but instead focuses on the signs and symbols of Latino gangs, and how those signs mediate the cultural interaction of her study members. That she respects the participants in her ethnography is clear from the note she writes directly to them in her introduction, in which she praises them for the lives they have made for themselves in the ten years since the ethnography was first written. She notes, "you have defied the expectations of researchers, some of whom predicted that any kind of gang involvement for girls would likely lead to troubled lives" (7, Mendoza-Denton). Indeed, she clearly admires some aspects of the participants' characters, and that in itself made this book a relief, and even fun, to read.
