Abstract
This study provides insights into the discursive means through which media outlets engage in the symbolic development of political conflicts by showing various degrees of trust and certainty towards major historical milestones that may contribute to the resolution of the conflict. Leaning on media linguistics and discourse studies, it observes the changes in expressions of stance in Spanish and Basque print media in the context of the final years of the Basque armed conflict (1958–2018), and concludes that initial hesitant coverages can influence the posterior discursive landscape that emerges in critical moments of peace processes.
期刊介绍：
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
