«I have ants in my pants»: Metaphorical Framing in Female’s Conversational Narratives of Osteoporosis
Some changes that humans undergo in their bodies as they grow older are accompanied by a decline in health. Exclusively from the patients’ perspective, this paper is based on narratives of lived experiences related to osteoporosis, one chronic disease that usually develops unnoticedly as age increases and that is more frequent in females than in males. The general aim is to delve into the linguistic expressions used by women suffering from osteop…
Incidental Learning of Word Stress with Captioned Authentic Videos: The Effect of Repetition
Recent technological advances and access to authentic input have promoted autonomous and incidental target language (TL) vocabulary learning. Very few studies, however, have so far put focus on both incidental learning of the word stress aspect of lexis and the influence of the repetition variable on this process, while viewing authentic videos. To address these two issues, Spanish participants from the incidental group were asked to watch 5 hour…
From Kisstory to Megxile: Tabloids as lexical trendsetters
While the year 2020 will undoubtedly be remembered for the sudden and unexpected worldwide expansion of COVID–19, which has threatened humans globally, the year 2021 is being marked by news related to the fight, vaccination and immunization against the coronavirus. However, in both years some, comparatively secondary, developments took place which were also relevant at other areas of interest. This is the case with the events surrounding the Brit…
Power and Norm-Setting in LSP: Anglicisms in the Language of Fashion Influencers
The norm in languages for specific purposes, i.e. acceptability in terms of language use at all levels, from pronunciation and lexis to genre structure, is usually established in terms of the power over discourse exerted by user communities. However, in “non-hierarchical” or even “non-regulated” professions or areas of LSP, there is a gradation between lay and professional users which makes for boundaries that are moveable. “Influencers”, who use…
Approaches to Videogame Discourse: Lexis, Interaction, Textuality
The first significant collection of research in videogame linguistics, Approaches to Videogame Discourse features an international array of scholars in linguistics and communication studies exploring lexis, interaction and textuality in digital games. In the first section, “Lexicology, Localisation and Variation,” chapters cover productive processes surrounding gamer slang (ludolects), creativity and borrowing across languages, as well as industr…
Oh wait: English pragmatic markers in Spanish football chatspeak
Emerging hybrid Spanish–English blend structures: ‘ Summergete con socketines ’
Blending in English Charactoons
This article deals with both the word-formation mechanism of blending and the creative process involved in providing characters with proper names in cartoons or TV series for children in English. The study addresses the nature and features of proper and common names, two apparently well-distinguished categories, as well as, and basically fictional proper names, by suggesting differences between fictional proper names and other types of proper and…
When Spanish owns English words
The English language and the Internet, both separately and taken together, are nowadays well-acknowledged as powerful forces which influence and affect the lexico-grammatical characteristics of other languages world-wide. In fact, many authors like Crystal (2004) have pointed out the emergence of the so-called Netspeak, that is, the language used in the Net or World Wide Web; as Crystal himself (2004: 19) puts it, ‘a type of language displaying f…

A comparative study of Latinisms in court opinions in the United States and Spain
In spite of the movements demanding clarity in legal texts, Latin expressions are still used in legal language, especially in legal argumentation. Opponents of an excess of linguistic reform argue that Latinisms serve a purpose, as they avoid ambiguity, and that such clear-cut terms may help towards the development of an international lingua franca for legal professionals. Through an analysis of recent opinions from the United States Supreme Cour…
