Constructing threat through proximization in digital news
This paper explores the multimodal realization of social polarization in European digital news through the construction of threat. Drawing from both Media and Communication Studies and Cognitive Critical Discourse Analysis, this study investigates how media framing and event-construal operations shape news interpretations through a proximization strategy. For this purpose, a multilingual sample of 73 European newsbites about the attack on Brazili…
Polarización en periódicos españoles
La palabra polarización se ha popularizado en los últimos años, extendiendo su significado más allá del ámbito político a situaciones de enfrentamiento en cualquier otro contexto. Este trabajo presenta un estudio pormenorizado de la frecuencia de uso, contextos y extensión del significado en un corpus de noticias publicadas en los dos periódicos españoles más leídos, El País y El Mundo, durante el año 2021. Para ello se han combinado metodologías…
Water Metaphors and Evaluation of Syrian Migration
In 2015 and 2016, European newspapers covered the Syrian migration into Europe in great detail, describing the path followed by millions of refugees as European authorities put up both physical and metaphorical obstacles to stop their advance. WATER metaphors, a common resource in immigration discourse, were extensively used in the media during this period. Apparently neutral, expressions like the flow of refugees or a new wave of immigrants seem…
Multimodal framing devices in European online news
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,…

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
The life of the green shoots metaphor in the Spanish media
The green shoots metaphor is quite recent, but not completely new in financial language. It has been used by economists for more than a decade to refer to the first signs of economic recovery after a recession and it can easily be analysed as a specification of the more general, abstract metaphors the economy is a living organism or the economy is a plant. However, in 2009 the worldwide financial crisis made this metaphor spread fast and reach no…
