This paper focuses on the study of the terms "conflict", "problem", "solution" and "resolution" appearing on headlines of several Spanish and Latinoamerican newspapers. Specifically, we studied 334 headlines, published between August 10th and November 15th, 2009, in Spanish and American papers, corresponding to the eight dialectal areas considered by Real Academia Española for Diccionario panhispánico de dudas and the Nueva gramática de la lengua española. Our research has a double aim: firstly, to classify the conflicts (or problems) that these headlines show, in order to analyse which are the phenomena named (from a journalistic point of view), with these terms. And, secondly, to study the syntactic-semantic relations that those four terms establish with their immediate cotext, framed by the headline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper will provide a detailed geographic analysis of the reach of yeísmo in a number of Latin American republics (El Salvador, Honduras, Panamá, Cuba, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay) in order to present an overview of the extent and development of this phonetic phenomenon in the Spanish spoken in America. It thus aims to build on recent studies that have attempted to assess the distribution of this feature throughout the Spanish-speaking world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
