Abstract
In this paper, the epilogues of a corpus of 30 presidential speeches are analyzed in relation to their topics and particular aspects of style. The speeches correspond to the last given to the Congress by each Administration during the period 1902-2008. This article is part of a series of papers (Jara Murillo 2006, 2008, in press) resulting from the research project "Análisis del Discurso Político en Costa Rica: Evolución y Perspectiva" (Instituto de Investigaciones Lingüísticas, 2004-2009).

This paper examines the connection among language, standard and mass media to better understand how mass media fosters prestigious and standardized linguistics. At the Hispanic level, the development of regulatory policies among social communicators has been quite successful to maintain a common standard throughout the vast Spanish-speaking geography. The main principles, presented as guidelines, are examined in detail. The most important research undertaken in Costa Rica on linguistic variability in written press and radio is also examined.

In this paper the text "Mĩ kã Sibö tskìnë" (When Sibö was born) from the Bribri oral tradition is analyzed in two respects: first, its structure is established by partitioning the text on the basis of topic and action continuity; secondly, the property of texture is analyzed, understanding by texture a set of linguistic mechanisms which makes a text hang cohesively together. The complete original text is included with morphemic translation and Spanish version. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
