Résumé anglais S. Lallemand — ~~"Raggy mug": Insuit and Pedagogy among the Mosi~~. An analysis of the meaning and social function of the insults exchanged between children or addressed to children by grown-up women. The semantic nature of insulting words varies according to the ages of insulter and insultee and to their kinship relationship. The function is mainly pedagogical, an insuit being the verbal equivalent of corporeal punishment, and often a complement thereof.
