Paper short abstract:

During my fieldwork in Transylvania I have experienced for several times the custom of young people in the village to form a circle after religious feasts in front of the church. Their communication in this circle is strongly related to the initiation of dating ceremonies they practice.

Paper long abstract:

This circle of communication there is a very important system of codes: it is important how they look at each other, on what position they stand and who they talk to. I also use terms and methods of semiotics and social psychology in my analysis. The system of communication between young boys and girls tending to pick a partner differs according to the place they stand.

The paper would focus on the analysis of this communication and the very important territorial aspects of this communication.
