Media coverage of violence against women (VAW) often relies on newsworthiness, which frames a view of VAW that overrepresents femicide vis-à-vis other forms of non-physical violence. This routinisation and distortion of audience perceptions can legitimate and perpetuate particular anti-feminist ideologies. This chapter examines the state-of-the-art on the discursive construction of female victims of VAW in the press, while exploring the effect(s) of media ethical codes on its reporting through a practical case study.

Ideas and concepts beneath successful series are examined in the selected peer reviewed papers written by scholars in this volume. Discourse, Dialogue and Characterisation in TV series aims to contribute to the growing scholarship on the so-called field of Television Studies through a number of critical essays that offer distinct critical approaches to a selection of fictional (digital) TV series, thus evincing the extent to which these types of narratives that are so embedded in popular culture today may be studied from multiple approaches. We remain indebted to the Valencian Government (Generalitat Valenciana) for kindly giving financial support for this publication (project code GVAORG2020-A-035) and also the support afforded by Grant PID2019-110863GB-I00, funded by MCIN/AEI/...

La edición pretende profundizar en los discursos generados y canalizados a través de la llamada sociedad en red (Castells 2011), cuando se celebra el primer cuarto de siglo de vida de internet.

children’s rights. Faced by it, we cannot but act quickly, forcefully and in a
coordinated manner. Such action should be oriented to both OG detection
and prevention. It should also be underpinned by a detailed knowledge of
OG as a specific type of cyber-crime. This is where discourse analysis of OG can make a real difference. Linguistic analysis of OG has been limited to date, despite the fact that (i) manipulation tactics are key to OG and (ii) such tactics are discursive. Our work, developed during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020-2021, examines all the OG court cases processed in Spain between 2003 and 2019. We select the sections of the court cases that reproduce interactional fragments between groomer and child-target. We analyse the manipulation tactics in the groomers’ discourse and how these tactics are perceived by their child-targets. Our results show recurrent tactics in OG discourse such as the use of compliments and the combination of implicit and explicit sexual language.
Keywords: online grooming, rights of the child, judicial discourse, manipulation.

En particular, se propone un nuevo proceso lexico-pragmatico (y se apuntan otros) que resultan de la conjuncion de dos representaciones mentales o conceptos simples en un unico concepto cuyo significado se deriva al margen de los criterios de composicionalidad semantica. Hasta la fecha, el modelo de la Teoria de la Relevancia (Sperber & Wilson 1986/1995) para las representaciones conceptuales se ha centrado en el ambito de los conceptos codificados desde el punto de vista lexico y en los conceptos derivados pragmaticamente que comunican en un contexto especifico. Por consiguiente, desde esta teoria se asume, junto con los modelos tradicionales de semantica lexica, que el significado de las unidades lexicas se determina, al menos en parte, en base a criterios de composicionalidad. Sin embargo, el modelo de semantica lexica generativa de Pustejovsk...

Recent discourse-analytic research has focused on the changing roles of journalists and readers, and examined the emerging interactional practices of public participation. Research has identified discursive processes of ideological (dis)affiliation and negotiation among participants, including positive/negative evaluations of the hosting newspaper and challenges of the journalists’ authority, credibility and trustworthiness (Bou-Franch 2013, Johansson 2014, Neurauter-Kessels 2011, among others). However, while there is a growing body of research into public participation in online newspapers, little is known of how newspapers deliver news in the social media and how readers engage with newsmakers and other readers in these digital contexts. This paper aims to address this gap by investigating news delivery and participants’ comments in a social networking site, namely, Fa...

Los últimos desarrollos de la Teoría de la Relevancia (R. CARSTON 2002; D. SPERBER & D. WILSON 2000; D. WILSON & D. SPERBER 2002a,b; D. WILSON, EN PRENSA) han contribuido enormemente al desarrollo del campo y sus propuestas han suscitado gran interés, especialmente por lo que respecta a los procesos lexico-pragmáticos que inciden en la comunicación explícita. Así pues, para la Teoría de la Relevancia, la distinción entre semántica y pragmática puede también darse a nivel léxico. El objetivo de este trabajo es dar cuenta de los procesos de naturaleza pragmática que inciden en la negociación de significado léxico. Desde el análisis del discurso y la pragmática social, la comunicación es un proceso de negociación donde las contribuciones se ajustan a las necesidades y a las...

This classical definition belongs to what Sperber & Wilson (1986) call the code model. Specifically, this model presupposes that the hearer’s retrieval of a codified meaning ‘packed up’ in a linguistic string is such that the speaker and the hearer will share exactly the same thought once the process of decoding is completed. The aim of pragmatics since the 1960s is to show that at the discourse level—and recently at the lexical level—there is no one-to-one mapping between linguistic meaning and utterance meaning. In other words, there is a gap between semantically-underspecified meaning and speaker meaning that can only be bridged by pragmatic inference. Consider:
