The interest of the subject that is dealt with in this analysis is the fact that, when studying the political communication of the last times, a change of the language due to the technological revolution, the development of new channels and means, and the implication of the citizens in this technological development are the key in the so-called Participatory Democracy.

En esta investigación se analiza la producción de sintagmas nominales (SN) plurales para referir a un grupo humano que incluye a hombres y mujeres y se pone a prueba el posible efecto de tres factores en la elección del SN masculino genérico o SN con femenino explícito. Para ello, se realiza un estudio experimental en el que se elicita la descripción de grupos humanos mixtos, presentados a través de imágenes, poniendo a prueba el efecto del estereotipo del sustantivo (masculino, femenino o sin estereotipo de género), el efecto de la necesidad de distinguir entre grupos mixtos y grupos exclusivamente masculinos, y el efecto de un habituamiento al uso de SN desdoblados. Los resultados encuentran que el estereotipo de género asociado a los sustantivos influye en la distribución de las diferentes expresiones referenciales y que las formas que hacen el femenino explícito son más frecuentes en los SN con estereotipo femenino.

We are facing the worst refuge crisis since World War II. This is a constant process, that will increase in the future and it is framed into the several migratory movements that we are living since decades not only because of war, but also due to climatic, political and economic reasons. This article tries to analyze the psychosocial risks that migrant people face in extreme situations focusing the analysis in Ulysses syndrome: The syndrome of migrant people with chronic and multiple stress. The results show the need of incorporating this analysis into the social and labor integration programs because the way we receive and protect migrant people will represent the difference between their integration and their maladjustment into the new society.

The research project GlobalCOM (CSO2013-46997-R) addresses the level of transparency in public local digital communication. To this effect, it evaluates 41 indicators related with the system of accountability on the websites of each council. The hypothesis claims that the websites of Spanish local governments show major deficiencies associated with the lack of transparency about the local administration processes. This have a negative impact on the role that these institutions play as information sources for the media and the citizens, hampering public debate and generating mistrust against local politics. This paper presents the results of the first set of results obtained from 33 municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants within Castilla-La Mancha, during the first quarter of 2015. The results confirm the hypothesis for the selected sample.

After a certain time of application, the Return Directive 2008/115 contains elements that give rise to a special interest which affect the fundamental procedural rights of foreign nationals of third countries in return situation. But also, its projection affects the configuration of a new immigration policy of the European Union which is without fear of exaggeration, the real challenge for the XXI century. A policy that must respect the basic rights of foreigners and allow integration into an area of freedom, security, and justice. This paper points out lights and shadows on the path developed by the Return Directive on its transposition by European members, the application thereof and the jurisprudence of the ECJ in its interpretation precisely at the moment amendment arises.

El presente artículo analiza los verbos prometer y jurar como verbos que designan dos actos ilocutivos, compromisivo y asertivo, en dos variedades del español, el español de España y el español de México. En el trabajo se muestra que el valor asertivo de prometer es percibido como extraño por algunos hablantes de México mientras que es aceptado en los hablantes de España. El análisis de corpus muestra que prometer asertivo se emplea en ambas variantes con una frecuencia reducida y que no es un uso novedoso en el español. El análisis, además, permite observar que la distinción entre enunciados realizativos y no realizativos es relevante para la descripción de prometer y jurar con dos valores: aunque prometer es mayoritariamente usado como compromisivo, su empleo como asertivo es más importante en los realizativos que en los no realizativos. Jurar, por su parte, es mayoritariamente asertivo pero en los enunciados no realizativos es más frecuente como compromisivo. Este análisis contribuye a profundizar en la relación entre la teoría de los actos de habla la descripción lingüística basada en datos reales.

At first there is done a theoretical review of the Psychology of the Organizations, analyzing it from the historical beginnings of the Psychology of the work, through different theories, up to coming to the concept of Organization. The statistics on accidents at work place Spain as one of the countries where there are more accidents in the area of the European Union. The article 40.2 of the Constitution assigns to the government, as one of the guiding principles of the social and economic policy, to ensure the health and safety at work. To the fulfilment of this mandate responds the Law of Prevention of Labour Risks 31/1995, November 8th.

This work analyzes the above mentioned sequels among the former workers.

This article takes stock of legal and economic assessments that have been made of twenty years of policies of support for Catalan cinema (cultural policy) and for cinema in Catalan (language policy). A combined methodology is used to determine the real effects that public incentive policies have on movie offerings actually available to the public. The impact of subsidies on Catalan movie production is practically non-existent. There is no substantial difference between the movies produced in 1982 and in 2002, in spite of the subsidies paid out. The industry has a production ceiling, which means that an increase in the amounts of the subsidies does not have a real repercussion on the number of films made. The average for the period studied was 17.5 films per year. In addition, the data suggest that the sector is weak, since it is quick to betray the effects of cuts in subsidies aimed at supporting Catalan moviemaking. On the other hand, consumer choice comes about through the dubbing of films in Catalan. In this regard, the support for Catalan entails the reinforcement of public subsidies for dubbing, although success in this policy sector could be in conflict with the support for the industrial fabric of Catalan moviemaking. Unfortunately, the policy of support for Catalan moviemaking and the Catalan dubbing policy depend on the political cycle, through elections, although the influence of such policies varies according to the election. In election years there is a considerable increase in budget allocations for these items, although such increased attention does not manifest itself in increased industrial performance. In view of the repeal of Decree 237/1998, the only formula available for guaranteeing the presence of Catalan in the movies involves public subsidies, which are currently substantially below the amounts invested in support of the Catalan moviemaking industry. In this regard, nothing in European law prevents the regulation of a complete system of aid for Catalan-dubbed movie offerings that would be more ambitious than the current one. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, it is up to the Autonomous Government of Catalonia (the Generalitat) to define what is to be understood by the term «cultural product» and the degree to which the expenditure should be territorialized.

Aquest article tracta l’ús del francès en els documents que redacten les administracions públiques. Als països de parla francesa hi ha, des de fa anys, una preocupació per la llengua que empren les administracions públiques en la redacció dels documents i, tant des dels mateixos organismes com des de l’àmbit acadèmic, s’han fet propostes per millorar-la. En aquest article s’analitzen els treballs que, a França, Bèlgica i Canadà, s’ocupen d’aquest ús del francès i es recullen les recomanacions d’estil més rellevants que ofereixen aquests treballs.

En aquest article es descriu l'ús que es fa de la construcció en todo caso en els textos legislatius. El marcador del discurs en todo caso prové en castellà d'un sintagma preposicional antiquat en la llengua estàndard però que es continua utilitzant avui dia en els textos legislatius. L'aparició d'aquest sintagma preposicional al costat del marcador del discurs en aquest tipus de textos provoca sovint enunciats ambigus, que poden ocasionar una mala comprensió de la norma per part del ciutadà. És possible i cal evitar aquesta ambigüitat si es vol assegurar un compliment correcte de la legislació.
