Abstract

Each name generator produces its own type of personal network and has its own assumptions and boundaries. Following a quick review of these tools and their distinctive characteristics, we propose a new name generator to study the link between sociability and socialization. The sociological point of view leads to building large networks rooted in the social contexts of everyday life rather than networks focused on specific kinds of resources or based upon fictive scenarios. A two-step procedure allows to distinguish a context-based network that gives an idea of a person's global social environment from more specific networks. The discussion of this tool will reveal its principal advantages and limitations.
