El estudio de los géneros discursivos académicos ha recibido una especial atención en la última década. No obstante, los estudios sobre el género tesis de licenciatura son escasos, especialmente desde la perspectiva léxico-gramatical. Nuestro objetivo es describir léxico-gramaticalmente cada movimiento del género tesis de licenciatura en lingüística, a partir de la extracción y cuantificación de trigramas de lemas en 33 tesis de licenciatura en lingüística. Para ello se utiliza la lingüística de corpus, pues permite etiquetar automáticamente sus unidades léxicas e identificar patrones de lemas usados para el análisis estadístico. Entre los hallazgos se destaca que los trigramas de lemas diferencian en un 99,3% los movimientos. Además, se identifican los trigramas propios de cada movimiento, estos se relacionan funcionalmente con los propósitos comunicativos. Los hallazgos establecen una clara relación entre las formas lingüísticas y las funciones comunicativas en este género. Los resultados tienen aplicaciones para el desarrollo de herramientas de apoyo a la escritura desde una pedagogía basada en el género.

In this paper, we study the elements of political discourse where persuasion is present as communicative strategy. In particular, we focus on the analysis of intonation and affectivity in a two-candidate Spanish electoral debate (Hidalgo Downing and Nieto y Otero 2014; Ponsonnet 2014; Reber 2012).The methodology consisted in selecting the openings and closings of each turn, taking the act as analysis unit (Briz 2003); for the acoustic analysis we have examined three parameters – fundamental frequency, intensity and vowel durations –, and four strategies for the positive affective bonds: assertiveness, inclusion, specificity and naturalization, in order to pursue the initial hypothesis on whether it is possible to find relations between intonation and affectivity. The analysis shows that both candidates use affective bonds and intonation to enhance persuasion, although there are interesting differences between candidates and between openings and closings. While openings show greater number and variety of strategies, both verbal and intonational, closings show lower intonational contours and less variation, therefore openings showing higher use of positive persuasive strategies, whereas in closings, there are no strategies addressed to the hearer, the most frequent being assertiveness. As for intonational contours, there is a general lowering in all values.

Este artículo adopta una perspectiva política y económica para explorar la evolución de las representaciones del mundo laboral en los libros de texto del español como lengua extranjera (ELE) desde mediados de los setenta hasta la actualidad. Utilizando el marco teórico del análisis crítico del discurso, examinamos históricamente el contenido laboral en libros de ELE a la luz de las transformaciones del capitalismo en las últimas cuatro décadas. Los resultados del análisis del contenido indican un incremento de referencias neoliberales coincidiendo con el auge del neoliberalismo como paradigma político y económico dominante. También se constata un cambio de orientación de las actividades que pasan a centrarse en la promoción del espíritu empresarial y la empleabilidad de los aprendices. El artículo concluye destacando la necesidad de estudiar los cambios en la esfera económica y material de la sociedad para comprender mejor cuestiones relacionadas con la lengua y su contexto.

This study analyzes the linguistic landscape (LL) of Azogues, Ecuador, by analyzing 171 photographs of business signs, taken during the summer of 2017. It analyzes cases of language mixing from a polylanguaging perspective (Jørgensen et al. 2011) and applies the concept of bivalency (Woolard 1999) to understand how linguistic features are used on signs in the LL to index membership in multiple groups and to construct multiple identities through the use of Spanish and English. It investigates the use of bivalency in lexical items, orthography and other linguistic features. This study analyzes the use of English as an outcome of globalization and examines the use of bivalency as a strategy to index global identity when access to English is limited.

This paper analyzes the acoustic properties of Spanish stressed mid vowels from a corpus of over 2,800 tokens produced by Galician-dominant bilinguals and Spanish monolinguals. Following principles of bilingual speech production theory, we explore whether these vowels present lexically conditioned open variants [ɛ] and [ɔ] not present in monolingual Spanish. In combination with linguistic factors, we also examine whether bilingual mid-vowel production in our corpus is related to social variables. Assuming a linguistic repertoires perspective that links variation to identity performance, we argue that Spanish /e/ and /o/ are sociolinguistic variables in Galicia and that the distribution of their variants can be exploited to perform social meaning.

En el presente trabajo se demuestra si la distancia acústica calculada anteriormente (Molina-García 2019) entre [θ] y [s] en función de sus grafías –〈s〉 y 〈z, ce, ci〉– de hablantes de Andalucía es percibida por la comunidad de habla. A continuación, se comprueba si es posible predecir cuándo las realizaciones de [θ] proceden de series léxicas con 〈s〉 (casa) y cuándo de series con 〈z, ce, ci〉 (caza). Finalmente, se describe la percepción social de este proceso. Para ello, se grabaron las realizaciones de un informante de 23 años con estudios universitarios y de un informante de 56 años con estudios básicos a partir de la lectura de 30 pares mínimos [s]-[θ]. 54 jueces debían predecir qué palabra habían leído. Los resultados muestran que la distancia acústica es percibida, que no diferencian las realizaciones del informante con el patrón vernacular (ceceo) y que la distancia acústica goza de prestigio social.

Intervocalic /s/ voicing is of much interest recently in Hispanic Linguistics for two principal reasons: this feature has been attested in diverse dialects of Spanish, and it has been shown to correlate in production and perception with social factors (Davidson 2014; Chappell 2016; García 2019; among others). One finding that often surfaces is that male speakers voice more than female speakers, and recent studies consider whether this may be due to physiological differences (File-Muriel, Brown, and Gradoville 2015; Chappell and García 2017). The present study examines the interaction of gender, age, and interspeaker variation in the voicing of intervocalic /s/ in the speech of 31 natives of Loja, Ecuador. While variationist studies overwhelmingly show women leading change in progress, I argue that young men are leading voicing in Lojano Spanish and that this study of a smaller, non-English speaking community further elucidates the intricacies of gender and linguistic change.

In the absence of complex and diverse Latinx characters in entertainment media, film and television representations of Latinxs’ culture and language typically embody limiting and harmful stereotypes. However, the highly praised U.S.-based romantic comedy-drama “Jane the Virgin” offers a very different representation. With believable characters and complex linguistic dynamics, the show provides a positive and relatively realistic representation both of Latinxs across generations and of their linguistic repertoires as documented in community studies of Latinx language. Through an analysis of the linguistic practices of Latinx characters in “Jane the Virgin,” including patterns of intergenerational language shift, linguistic accommodation, and codeswitching, it is argued that the show acknowledges and treats as unmarked the linguistic complexity of Latinx families and communities. At the same time, the show oversimplifies this complexity in some ways, creating a representation that may be perceived as authentic despite its divergence from real-world Latinx language use.
