| description | This is a linguistic and discursive research of a rumor that, in 2015, spread through the urban zone adjacent to Mexico City and the State of Mexico. The rumor said: “children are being kidnapped”. In a corpus, gathered through interviews with people living in those areas, and by doing online research on public profiles on Facebook, common narrative structures and repetitive topics were identified, as well as languages that organize and construct the social experience. Finally, three versions of the rumor were identified and named as: 1) the vehicle of kidnap, 2) violent irruptions, and 3) discoveries of corpses. The analysis highlights the similarities and differences of the linguistic and narrative resources among these three versions, as well as some common patterns shared with urban legends told in the area. At the end, the rumors emerge as a part of a wide narrative ecology that exchanges resources and thematic elements that produces new stories used by people to construct the sense of their social world. |

Esta es una investigación de corte lingüístico-discursivo, trabajado en torno a un rumor que, en el 2015, se diseminó por diferentes regiones de la zona conurbana del Estado de México. Tal rumor sentenciaba: “se están robando a los niños”. A partir de un corpus conformado por entrevistas a gente que vive en la región, y de búsquedas dentro de perfiles públicos de Facebook, se identificaron estructuras narrativas, temáticas, y lenguajes que dieron pie a tres versiones del rumor; que fueron denominadas: 1) el vehículo del secuestro, 2) irrupciones violentas, y 3) hallazgos de cadáveres. En el análisis se identificaron diferencias y similitudes en los lenguajes y recursos narrativos que las conforman, e igualmente se identificaron patrones comunes con leyendas urbanas, que cuenta la gente de aquella región. Al final, se hace notar que los rumores son recursos culturales que son parte de toda una ecología de relatos que intercambian recursos, se complementan, y producen nuevos relatos con los que la gente otorga sentido a su mundo social.
