Like a Virus. Similes for a Pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a great impact on the life of every inhabitant of the planet. During 2020 and 2021 a significant amount of work on how the pandemic is being conceptualized and communicated has been done. Most work has focused on the role of metaphor in the construal of specific cognitive frames. In this paper, we turn to a similar but different conceptualization mechanism, i.e. simile. Drawing from recent socio-cognitive and discurs…
Occupying the streets, occupying words. Reframing new feminisms through reappropriation
This paper presents a Critical and Socio-Cognitive analysis of protest discourse as created in slogans for feminist rallies taking place in Spain (2017–2020). The study focuses on the discursive evolution of the term manada (‘wolfpack’), from its origins as a metonymy to refer to a gang rape taking place in the San Fermín bullfighting celebration of July 2016, to its reappropriation by feminists to bring attention to gender violence and, most imp…
Creating new discourses for new feminisms
Aportes teóricos para el tratamiento del discurso mediático en la educación secundaria
Desde sus orígenes, la relación entre educación y medios de comunicación ha sido compleja. En los últimos años, esta complejidad se ha incrementado debido al surgimiento de nuevos modos de conocimiento que desafían modelos pedagógicos tradicionales y que exigen tener en cuenta nuevos códigos y canales de comunicación. En este artículo exponemos y desarrollamos conceptos básicos para abordar la problemática de la incorporación del discurso mediáti…
The tide, change, nobody can stop it’
Based on critical approaches to discourse and metaphor, as well as on cognitive models of metaphorical creativity and recontextualization, this article analyses the origin and evolution of the marea (‘tide’) metaphor as a tool for social action within recent Spanish protest movements (2011–2016). From an initial image metaphor representing different protest groups, to the use of the expression to identify a number of grassroots political parties,…

El estudio del escándalo político en la prensa
Este artículo propone un posible camino metodológico para estudiar el discurso de la prensa escrita desde el marco teórico del análisis crítico del discurso. El objeto de estudio está constituido por las representaciones construidas por diarios argentinos de circulación nacional acerca del escándalo político. Luego de relacionar algunas de las principales propuestas metodológicas que plantean representantes de este enfoque crítico, se especifica …
Situated-‘instant’ metaphors
This paper studies the metaphorical expressions created as slogans by the Spanish protesters who gathered spontaneously in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol Square on May 15th 2011 to demand economic equality and democracy. The metaphors analysed are situated and context-induced , as well as ‘ instant ’, as they were produced in a very short, concrete period of time; in a specific physical location — the Puerta del Sol Square, Madrid; and within an equally…
Newspaper Metaphors
This article shows how the specific discourse situation and sociocultural context influence the development and degree of entrenchment of metaphor in language. Two metaphors are analyzed and contrasted in two different communities and times: signs of a positive change are green shoots in Spanish newspapers throughout 2009, and obstacles for success are an ash cloud in the British press in 2010. Because these metaphors emerged in different sociocu…
The structure of emotion discourse
This paper focuses on how narrators convey emotion in the structure of oral narrative discourse in Spanish. To this end, the structure of personal oral narratives of highly emotional events in a sample of radio narratives is analyzed from two different approaches
Discourse markers, structure, and emotionality in oral narratives
This paper presents a comparative analysis structure and frequency of discourse markers in two kinds of oral narratives: objective, emotionally neutral ones on the one side, and highly emotional, spontaneous ones on the other. The results prove that emotionality plays a crucial role in the structuring of oral narratives as well as in the type of discourse markers employed in them. Objective oral narratives show a higher number of discourse marker…
Just Revisited
Contrastive studies of cognate pragmatic markers involving modality have become increasingly salient in recent times. In describing semantic and discursive differences in different languages and language families, these studies are paving the way for a better understanding of grammaticalization, pragmaticalization and (inter)subjectification paths. The present paper aims at contributing to the discussion by means of providing a synchronic and dia…
