Summary: A pragmatic semiotics exegesis of descriptive text requires a revision of the studies rhetoric and narratológicos discourse where the phenomenon of the description presented in a formal eclecticism that does not explain the relevance pragmático-discursiva its functionality within the production communicative. However, the specific formal recent methodological studies, such as those developed by the School of Paris, the unit's text conceived as a display syntagmatic in which units lingüstico-sistemáticas projected in a speech through a process of understanding sémica driven by the use of the subject makes these units in a specific cultural context: the process be seen as a descriptive use specific reference and cotextual that suits a programming lógico - matemática deductive and intensional. Our theory builds on the ability that this recursive programming lógico - matemática experience within different types of speech: the scientific discourse, journalism, advertising and ensayístico-argumentativo. The inclusion of a mathematical approach and semiotic in the formal characterization of the narrative leads to the development of the Theory of Games Cooperative to explain, from the point of view econometric, intensionalidad significant descriptive sense within other structures as textual narration or exposure. Also, it is found from the aesthetics of the reception, the progression of the intensionalidad as expansive structure lógico - matemática intercom along the history. The recognition, from mathematical criteria, the existence of a structure intensional semantics of continuing reconstruction of the meaning of speech gives us a new interpretation semiotics of the referees. The expansion program as a projection of referential description implies, first, the recurrence of textual models complex over the generations, as in the case of advertising and implemented such programming depending on the needs sociocomunicativas context. Secondly, the expansion explains the functionality of pragmatic nature fática, conativa, metacomunicativa and expressive of the narrative in the analysis narratológico of literary texts of Realism and other customary nature. Thirdly, aesthetics structural expansions descriptive, ratified in a mathematical and econometric, it is extensible behavior biophysical phenomena such as fractals, relations neurotransmisoras nervous system, the molecular stability or the expansion of the Universe. This breakthrough in the identification of textual structure and the expansion potential of the meaning of speech, we reconduce prior to the search for similarities in other scientific domains belonging to disciplines as physics or biology. These analogies ratify the operational stability of semas that units projected in the speech and allow the establishment of formal criteria nature of semiotics to corroborate the scope of the pragmatic operational intersémica that occurs within successive expansions that are all text: segmentation space - temporary actorialización, levels of formal characterization, sequencing of the action and contextualization indexical of the spaces and characters. The availability of multiple textual analysis along our study confirms the structural uniformity of the intensional expansion and the need for criteria lingüstico-semióticos stable that can be applied to various types of text. For this reason, the adequacy of the analytical expansion as transfer of intensional semas cotextuales applies to a movie or a comic book to the aesthetics own interpretation of reality that gives us Science. The description thus becomes a prototype textual self-sufficient for its high degree of relevance semantics and info 8 rmativa 4b3 in most texts. In addition, while we understand their autonomy modal and pragmatic, explaining the analytical methodology that can be used in any text. Only after the ratification of the mathematical and econometric expansion descriptive, you have a network of analogies that leads our study lingüstico and semiotic towards interdisciplinary study, it discovered that the evolution expansive and intensive descriptive discourse is also from an aesthetic perspective the creation and disintegration of matter.

Summary: The basic proposal of the dissertation is to elaborate a model of analysis which: 1) provides a common set of terms that sociologists, psychologists and linguists can use to name the structural, component parts of television advertisements; 2) can complement sociological studies on ads by clarifying how issues such as values, social groups, subjectivity, etc. are constructed discursively and symbolically through the audiovisual mode of communication; 3) can complement psychological studies of persuasive techniques that focus on the stimulus-response model by bringing into greater focus how the stimulus (the ad) is constructed; 4) and provides a higher level domain into which linguistic phenomena (simple sound tropes as well as more complex figures like metaphor, the use of personal pronouns, verb tenses, etc.) can be contextualized. I apply Kenneth Burke's model of rhetoric, the Dramatistic Pentad, to analyzing ads and follow that up with a formalistic analysis of the audiovisual elements in ads. This model has brought to light interesting new insights into how subjectivity is created, how and why ads have developed from the 1950s to the late 1990s, how values are constructed, and should prove to be an interesting tool for promoting interdisciplinary discussion of television advertising.

Summary: This thesis, which has taken the name of Avatars of the signifier (Work writing and speech), aims to research on some traditional notions attached to the field of lingüstica literary or semiotics of pragmatic basis or not pragmatic, such as text, critical speech, as enunciated / enunciation, significant and, in particular, everything that involves the broader notion of writing. From the analysis of twenty-five texts, which might be termed testing, and fifty .. criticism, as also the matching both write operations, which share theoretical methodologies such as psychoanalysis, literary theory, semiotics music and the film based textual analysis, it is inferred that links are established to shape a look germination, useful, regarding the riddle that has, historically, the concept writing speaks to the concept, this issue that has tormented generations of writers immemorial .

Summary: The methodology proposed in this thesis is presented as an alternative methodology for the design of projects competing for funding in the field of agricultural science and technology. The development of the thesis is based on the need of the National Agricultural Research Institute (INIA) of Chile of a methodology for designing projects, the use of the Logical Framework as a tool for project development and the existence of a Methodology of Teaching Projects in UPC (MDP-UPC). The new proposal is built in such a way that preserves the MDP-UPC its structural strength, as a tool for project design, and allows subsequent processing original Framework Logic synthesis and consistent. The result is an empowerment between two each and validated methodologies, but they lacked the advantages that might otherwise provide. The result of the thesis is a project methodology applied INIA merges three products specific and independent: * "Good Education" design projects. * "9 Steps" are merely stages of progress for the systematic analysis of abstract logical design and to facilitate the formulation of the project. * The "Guide for the development of Logical Framework" systematic process of constructing an array of Logical Framework project. The results may be applied in the INIA or other similar institutions, as a new methodological tool, which will facilitate the development and improve the quality of project proposals have shown that is possible in this thesis. Thus, a project developed with this new tool will have a methodological design well structured in terms of content and consistency, and a Logical Framework prepared in a correct and consistent in design. It achieves the goal of the thesis generate a methodology for the design of agricultural projects in the INIA from MDP-UPC and that includes the development of Logical Framework.
