Summary: Beginning with the development of a content analysis, this thesis aims to study the electoral propaganda material published in the press Galician in the period running from 1977 to 1996. Electoral propaganda is conceived as a social communication strategy that aims to persuade the audience to act in accordance with the approaches proposed by the propagandist who exercised during the period in which the law provides for each election campaign. This is an action to mobilize consciences and behaviors of the recipients through the use of a very general outline ideological core: maximize our strengths and minimize the positive aspects of each other to minimize our negative aspects and maximinar the negative aspects of others. The subject of formal study of this research is characterized by a dual perspective lingüstico-comunicativa. So, we opted for a pragmatic approach and socilingüstica of communication based public mediacional. That is, on one hand we use as a class analytical theory of speech acts, developed within the philosophy of language and later adopted as the basic unit for a lingüstica enunciative and socially. From the standpoint of communication theory, we opted for a model of dialectical logic mediacional. This perspective allows for consideration of the mutual effects between changes in the operating system and the transformation of Social Communication Service.

In the second part of the thesis discussed sincronicamente the status of the language in Santiago de Compostela, a city of less castellanizados and therefore the closest to the global reality Galician. It combined a quantitative and qualitative methodology to a description of the uses (by questionnaire) and performances sociolingüsticas (through discussion groups) of the company Compostela. While the 120 interviews were conducted to pass the questionnaire to the managers of other firms, also made some remark uses oral (to the public) and written (signs and stationery basically). Responses and comments of the managers were complemented by the speech of the two panels made: one dominated by managers and other workers.

Summary: This dissertation characterized forms lingüsticas allowing benchmarking deícticas person related to the participatory frameworks and decomposition of their notions of enunciador and enunciatario established by Goffman (1981) YLevinson (1988). The first chapter sets the overall objective, specific and assumptions of departure, and justifies the theoretical framework of the pragmatic and methodology. The second chapter is an approach to historical study of deixis, from Syntax Apollonius Díscolo until now, and there is a review of the first contemporary inputs (Jespersen, BÃ ¼ hler, Jakobson, Lyons), and from semiotics (basically , Peirce and Burks), and especially the pragmatic (Fillmore, Levinson Rauh, Vanelli and Renzi, Kerbrat-Orecchioni). The third chapter is characterized deixis taking sides in some of them issues in which there is no complete agreement in the literature (including deixis so as a class deíctica, argued rejection of the concept of social and deixis the distinction between categories deixis and uses is included where deixis discursiva-); categorizes the main forms encoding deixis in Catalan, and delimiting the borders with other upcoming events (the expression of subjectivity, the varying degrees of informatividad and anafórica reference). In the fourth chapter defines the participatory frameworks from Goffman and Levinson. The fifth chapter characterized forms gramaticalizadas, or unmarked, for the reference to the participants. Among other contributions, it is stated that the first person encodes a reference to the person responsible, rather than any enunciador, and the second to the addressee, not to any enunciatario; questions the distinction between uses inclusive and exclusive forms of plural of the first and second person, and the vocativos Call (calls or summonses) Levinson (1983) decompose into two types, depending affecting the entire event or a speaking event illustrative. In the sixth chapter characterize alternative forms, or marked for the reference to the participants: eight different uses of the first person plural, the second person singular to the reference to enunciador, shapes as menda, server -ay one - a, treatments vós and voste (s) and several types of phrases nominal lexicons (metapragmáticos or expressing a jogging). In the seventh chapter outlines several ways of analyzing data: processes interpretive seguídos in identifying the referent, the iconic character of the alternative forms, and the relationship can be established with the treatment of courtesy of Brown and Levinson ( 1987).

Summary: Ciñéndonos some of the main theorists budgets discipline sociolingüstica, we applied the method of social networks in the Andalusian town of Baeza to know and describe the variation in relative pronouns and adverbs in the Spanish spoken in this city. Also, select a number of variables lingüsticas referring to the aforementioned elements and grammatical constructions in which they appear, which may or not be correlated with other social variables. The application of certain statistical tests (parametric and non - parametric), conducted by the SPSS software program, would allow us to obtain quantitative interpretations of the data found in the body of the study, which would be completed thanks to the qualitative information provided by the technical anthropological the "participant observation" and the fact that it is natural for the community investigated.

Summary: The project of Prime census lingüstico of signantes in Spain, consisting of a census count and a survey sociolingüstica show that the number of signantes native is decreasing in this country, with which we could say that sign language is potentially threatened. In addition, signantes show contradictory attitudes to their language: on the one hand, a altogrado identification and desire for inclusion in the educational system and the administration and, moreover, ambivalence before its value as a language and a great instrumental insecurity lingüstica. These data lead us to conclude that there is a series of failures that are affecting the balance ecolingüstico of the community, and therefore the potential for standardization / planning of the tongue. Firstly, the reduction in the number of signantes native caused for progress in the early detection of deafness, but also by the Spanish reform of the educational system in the 80s (with the integration and closure of colleges deaf), is affecting the vitality etnolingüstica of the community: school is no longer the main place of contact with the tongue, which in turn has led to a decline in the level of participation in associations of the deaf. These two places, school and association, have been the two main pillars of the establishment and maintenance of the Deaf community in the past, namely their habitus lingüstico. Secondly, the social movement of ethnic minorities who claim delas embraced deaf communities globally from the 60's, reached our pious in the mid-80. In doing so, community leaders, presidents of associations and teachers of sign language, conforms to a group of informal pressure, claiming sign language as a minority language most of the state. This trend, coupled with the increasing interest from the academic community and the very evolution of the concept of gracious diversity, it has had an impact on the various administrations, as well as the whole society in general. These changes have resulted, in turn, a growing interest in learning dela sign language as a second language [listeners both people who make the same course as people who are trained to be interpreters], a group that has grown in recent years so spectacular. This situation has inspired a wave of optimism among the native population. Indeed, the improvement of social status and contacts with the administration have provided opportunities for expansion of the functions of sign language, which has been introduced in the educational setting, through interpreters, and in the media. However, our analysis showed that this movement is not benefiting fully deaf flows because, many times, the standardization work of the body that are taking place, as well as access to information through interpreters various acts and events, does not respond to their needs. Ultimately, the actions of the Deaf community and dela administration resign as a set of actions opposing the Deaf community planning poses a holistic nature, an official with knowledge of sign language as a minority language as a goal, and the administration has acted before a problem of specific, yet with the prospect of compensatory and pathological deafness, and has responded so far, almost exclusively, including interpreters.

Summary: The objectives of the thesis focuses, first: 1-In show that through the detailed study of the interaction is possible to isolate discursive elements potentially identity and otorgales greater reliability and, secondly. 2-In describing the changes in migration entails ethnic dimensions and lingüstica the identity of some Italians living in Catalonia. The theoretical framework is the analysis of the conversation kind of international inspiration etnometodológica with an approximation largely qualitative. The instrument used is the interview sociolingüstica semidirigida. For the first generations of informants and made them different interviews distance of seven years, with and without basis default language and interviewers groups etnolingüsticos different. The family units, with members of first and second generation, are interviewed without basis default language and with different constelacines participant and participatory structures. The sample consists of 30 informants, and an analysis of the speech in depth of 10 of them, from transcripts detailed (10 hours and 30 minutes). They are also used 215 questionnaires collected for the selection of informants, who receive a statistical treatment to reinforce some scenarios arising from the qualitative analysis. Regarding the first objective methodology of data collection and analysis will reveal specific procedures for construcicón of social identities through the interacicón and its transformations over time, in addition to its configuration within the family unit. It describes the structure identity of informants for each of the interviews from significant elements identity. These elements are isolated when they appear repeatedly in one or more interviews with the same informant, or using appear in the same context as other elements. Having been delimit identity elements significant for all respondents and interviews, both in dialogue and in trialogue. Of these elements appear to be some potentially generalizable: items marked and contiguous and elements of pluridiscursividad-appointments - mainly at its junction with social identities used as a tool. The thesis provides tools and forms of analysis rare, since most studies on social identities qualitative in nature, including those based on interviews, tend to focus exclusively on the thematic level, and, with exceptions, on formal elements such as trademarks transcódicas or trademarks pronominales. This paper explores the ethnic identities and lingüsticas not only on the level of form and content of the speech, but in the participatory structure and the management of the task. In addition explores in depth both the speech interviewed as the interviewer. As for the second objective of the thesis, has been used 30 informants to study its relation to the category "immigrant", relations between ethnic identities and lingüsticas, ideology lingüstica, ideology toward Catalan, patterns of use, reported Catalonia and the variables that seem to depend. They have also been used some statistical data derived from questionnaires, which have helped strengthen the hypothesis that if the informant has an Italian couple whose preferred language and routine use is the Catalan will be further induced to use that language in any field. Moreover, has been compared questionnaires and interviews with each of the informers to understand their validity and methodology for interpreting data that seemed contradictory.

Summary: This research combines analysis variacionista of morphosyntactical structure and study sociolingüstico and sociointeractivo style verbal, in the field of mass communication oral and written the Spanish city of Salamanca. The aim is to clarify the extent to which the phenomena morphosyntactically level variables can act as resources expressive value socioestilístico, and whether it is possible to link it with internal factors change in the framework of general explanations basic cognitive and discursive. The research focuses on the paradigm of clitics verbal elements of Latin etymology pronominal today operate in the manner of affixes concordanciales object. Assuming that the styles lingüsticos are patterns coaparición variants formal foster the building of certain meanings, and that, consequently, the change in style should be determined taking into account a multiplicity of phenomena are studied four variables related with the above paradigm. The analysis shows that most of the patterns of variation can be explained as internal factors discursivo-cognitivos, related topicalidad prominence or acquiring the referee of a clítico in the scene described by the clause and its context. From here, it opens a path to theoretical explanation of the variation socioestilística and their relationship to the domestic level: generally, morphosyntactic variants associated with the referees and human cognitive greater prominence are more common in conversational and informal situations ; this is probably that in these situations, human subject assumes greater prominence, and premium developing interpersonal relationships compared to the transmission of information. All levels of the structure (partner) lingüstica reveal themselves connected by the style lingüstico, which involves, above all, creation and recreation constant meanings.

Summary: Study of the rules of behavior and interaccional school and its evaluation in the classroom, through an analysis model that combines sociolinguistics ethnographic interaccional criticism and analysis. The body consists of 15 hours of audio recording and video on the subjects of Spanish Language and Literature, Mathematics, Social Science, Communication Processes and Compensatory Speaking during the 2003/2004 academic year, a group of 2 ° Compulsory Secondary Education in Móstoles (Madrid). This group, which sets together with their professors analyzed the community of practice, was formed by a group of performance measurement and 2-B was, as faculty group lowest performance and, coincidentally, the most multicultural. In addition to the 15 hours of taped interaction, the framework of interpretation and analysis consists of a network of contextual data. The basic unit of analysis is the interaction (MT) seen as a social practice on the one hand predetermined by the scope and convertible and another under construction, where they are entwined three dimensions of communication: the proper interaccional, psychosocial and socio. There are three stages of analyzing all of them linked by the process ethnographic: 1-ethnographic work. 2-Interaccional, which analyzes a complete interaction first, and three collections of sequences. 3, triangulation-sized and practices. In the first phase are studied on the one hand, the general characteristics of the school where the classrooms, and secondly, the routines of activity, interaccionales patterns and forms of participation in class. In the second phase analyzes the original configuration of the framework of participation and the distribution of shifts short, the status and positioning of the participants with the rules and their transgression, communicative acts in its deployment and sequential processes categorization within a complete interaction of Social Sciences. And in a second stage of analysis, we will study three collections formed by the topic norma-transgresión-evaluación. To that end, he examines: A-shaped As part of participation and how it set the ground rules for the class in the collection of early and late. B-How are violated rules and how they managed such a transgression, in the collection of transgressions and omissions. C-How are evaluated behavior -transgresores or not by the faculty, in the collection of evacuations of teachers. Finally the third phase deals with analysis to compare resutlados obtained from ethnographic analysis, and sequential interaccional network with contextual data from the ethnographic process, in order to observe the embedding of the three dimensions rectified in practice interaccional: communicative , psychosocial and socio. Not counting the technical challenges and difficulties encountered in the process, the main challenge was the triangulation of different types and sources of data, different methods and phases and analytical perspectives and theoretical approaches in practice researcher. Proposals offered at the end, however, are aimed at raising awareness and improving the pedagogical practices (training teachers) and institutional system for assessing and monitoring programs implemented in response to the diversity).

Summary: This paper adopts a perspective socio-cognitiva studying courtesy lingüstica in the discourse of political candidates in the context of discussions electoral elections Norte-Americanas the year 2000. This has been taken as the starting point Theory Courtesy of Brown and Levinson (1987), a social, and the Theory of Relevancy Sperber and Wilson (1986/1995), a cognitive. The latter has constituted an adjunct to the first cognitive at the theoretical level. In this study also has found persuasive dimension of political discourse, and the nature trilógico and what has been called the 'dual nature polite' of that speech. The reactions of the audience and the issue of power have also been taken into account in this study. To achieve it we collected a body of a total of 89 debates election, and were taken as units of analysis sequence pragmatic and micro-estrategia. The results of this study showed a preponderance of mitigation on the worsening in these events. In particular variety of mitigation is not pure oriented towards the positive image of the listener proved to be dominant over the other varieties found mitigation. On the other hand, among the varieties agravadoras that were identified in the corpus was worsening with pure orientation toward the negative image of a listener which turned out to be predominant.

Summary: Based on the current paradigm of Pragmatics, this doctoral work focuses on the use of songs in popular music is not sexist in the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language in university education, with the goal of filling a void in the field teaching resources. Today, music is one of the most important social values for the youth, which should take this real source of motivation. Also, research is being undertaken from the perspective not only of language but also didactic and psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, as the songs are of great value to cope with the anxiety in the process of learning a new language. In addition, the songs convey information about the different varieties linguistic, social and cultural rights of the English language. Therefore, the songs are a more complete genetic teaching resources for students of English Philology.
