Angel, you might want to look at "He-said-she-said" by
Candy Goodwin which examines how talk is used to construct
social organization in working-class kids peer-groups
in Philadelphia. You might also want to get in touch
with Norma Mendoza-Denton who's doing her thesis at
Stanford on Latino adolescent girls' discourse. I have
references to a couple of her papers but can't find
them at the moment. The reference for the Goodwin book
is the following:

Goodwin, M.H. 1990. He-Said-She-Said: Talk as Social Organization
among Black Children. Bloomington: Indiana University Press.
ISBN 0-253-20618-9
