The current paper explores the Lexical and Conceptual Metonymies employed by the Spanish press to refer to immigrants from cognitive and critical discourse perspectives. Two corpora of news stories are analyzed: the first contains news stories from the Comunidad de Madrid, whereas the second is contextualized and geolocalized in a particular area of Madrid, Lavapiés, where several studies have revealed a tendency to use the diversity present in this territory as a marketing strategy. The analysis brings to light differences and similarities in the underlying metonymical discourse of each corpus, namely in terms of the distribution of the Conceptual Metonymies found therein, as well as their correlation with a positive, neutral or negative assessment of the given news story. The metonymical discourse of the first corpus correlates most strongly with neutral assessments, while that of the second corpus correlates largely with positive assessments of the conceptualizations.
En este artículo se presenta el análisis exploratorio de un corpus de 117 noticias, recuperadas a través de la base de datos Factiva, que se publicaron en prensa en español, desde marzo de 2020 a mayo de 2021, sobre el efecto de la pandemia COVID-19 en la educación y la adquisición de competencias y hábitos lectores. La digitalización forzosa, que ha afectado al desarrollo de la competencia lectora, ha puesto de relieve nuevas problemáticas relacionadas con el acceso desigual a la conectividad y a la tecnología, así como problemáticas relacionadas con desigualdades endémicas que han afectado tanto a discentes, como a docentes y a familias. Para llevar a cabo el análisis se ha adoptado la perspectiva de los estudios críticos del discurso, que se ha combinado con la metodología de la lingüística del corpus.
