This article presents a part of the research study regarding the process of constructing representations within the national and international press about the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia -- People's Army (FARC -- EP) throughout a period from its inception as a guerrilla group in 1964, to its consolidation as an army which set the Colombian State on edge in 1996. This paper is exclusively focused on the months of May to June 1984, the first month of the ''ceasefire'' agreed with the government of President Belisario Betancur (1982 -1986). The ambivalence of representations is discussed herein, as well as how the image of a narco-guerrilla gradually takes shape. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the phraseology adopted by women's magazines in Argentina during the early 1990s, based on two cases that embody different approaches: a traditional one (Para Ti) and a more feminist-oriented approach (Women & Company). The analysis focuses on styles and personal pronouns to track the ways in which the relationship between the speaker and listener is constructed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
