The study of pena and its formal variants illustrates how the emotional and subjective content can take on an argumentative value and become an additional tool for persuasive discourse. With a Pragmatic Linguistics approach (Fuentes Rodríguez, 2017a[2000] and 2017b), this paper explains emotion at the sentence and the macrosyntax level, relating the study of (im)politeness with operations of face and argumentative force. Basing the analysis on examples taken from the MEsA digital corpus and from documents about politics in CREA and CORPES XXI, this study presents syntactic patterns of great persuasive value in current Spanish and illustrates that pena has not reached the degree of grammaticalization as a discursive operator of lástima. In addition, the results confirm that the meaning of pena can be exploited in various discursive strategies: with the value of apology, of interpersonal closeness, of empathy with the misfortune of others, as an operation of self-image, as an increase of the argumentative force of the discourse or as an attenuator and intensifier of impoliteness. The conclusions relate such functions to the different types of discourse studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Qué A ni qué B expression constitutes exclamatory utterances that often appear in reactive interventions as rejection comments. It presents variants in its second segment, some of them are minimizing or vulgar forms, with different degree of intensification. It builds a semi-fixed construction in which the inherent impoliteness of the speech act of rejection, the use of vulgar forms and the inherent emotion of the expressive modality are all involved.

The study that is presented aims to reveal the linguistic discrimination suffered by two Haitians regarding their performance of Spanish as a second language (L2), secondly, to identify the aspects of the linguistic performance of Spanish that are the object of discrimination, and, finally, to reveal the manifestations of linguistic discrimination. From a qualitative approach, the study takes place in the city of Los Angeles, Biobío region in Chile. Data collection is carried out through semi-structured interviews with 2 Haitian students of Spanish as a second language. The speeches are analyzed using the content analysis technique and as main findings, we can observe linguistic and racial discrimination in the public sphere of individuals, mainly in the workplace, which is manifested through sarcasm attributed to ridicule, insults, and rudeness. It is also evident that the aspect in the performance of Spanish as a second language (EL2), the object of discriminatory attitudes on the part of Chileans, is the pronunciation, due to the accentuated prosodic element. From there, the prevailing conception of linguistic and racial discrimination is accessed, which places individuals in a situation that is misunderstood by society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work studies linguistic elements that the speaker uses to express persuasion in Spanish and shows how the use of emotions through lástima can also act as a mechanism of argumentative force, with mitigating or intensifying value in its different discursive uses. With a Pragmatic Linguistics approach (Fuentes Rodríguez 2017a [2000], 2017b and 2020a) and close to the Theory of Argumentation (Anscombre and Ducrot 1983) and its recent developments in the Theory of Stereotypes (Anscombre 2001, Donaire 2006), this research describes how the instructional meaning of lástima (que) and its different variants favor pragmatic functions in communicative interaction and can be used for various persuasive purposes. The comparison of examples in different contemporary corpora (MEsA, CORPES and CREA) aims to analyze the discursive functions and argumentative purposes of lástima in persuasive discourse, whether as a form of self-criticism, in strategies of positive politeness as reinforcement of face and empathy with the misfortune of the interlocutor, as a euphemism that attenuates impoliteness and even as a reinforcer or intensifier of impoliteness in direct attacks.

The article "Valencia, the liberal (Ethopoeia of a city)" written by Javier García Gibert, reflects on the author's relationship with the city of Valencia. The author highlights the different facets of the city, such as the city of parties, the sensitive and artistic city, and the Berlanga-like city. It also mentions the Muslim and warrior origin of Valencia during the Reconquista, as well as its economic and demographic development in the 14th century. The text talks about Valencia's fame in Europe for its free and relaxed lifestyle and customs, especially in relation to the city's brothels. It also mentions the lack of knowledge and pride of Valencians in their own history and culture. The article also analyzes the apparent paradox in Valencian culture, which combines subtlety and rudeness, refinement and vulgarity. It highlights the love for enjoying life and pleasures in Valencian culture, as well as the lack of ambition and desire for enrichment. The text talks about the hedonistic and skeptical mentality of the Valencian people, highlighting their lack of ambition and their enjoyment of the pleasure of the moment. It also mentions Valencia's resistance to radical Catalan nationalism and its lack of tourist interest in the past. Although the city has improved its tourist attractions, the attitude of Valencians remains the same. The author mentions the typical attractions of the city, such as the fireworks castles, but highlights that the true surprise of Valencia is the mascletá, which defines the character of the people and the city. Despite the apparent indifference of Valencians towards visitors, the city defines itself as liberal and welcomes everyone without making distinctions. [Extracted from the article]

This paper analyzes the factors of the subjective construction of insecurity and fear of crime, based on theories about victimization, physical and social vulnerability, incivilities, and social networks. Regression models are estimated with data from Acapulco, Guerrero, in order to evaluate the effect of such factors on the perception of insecurity in everyday environments, the modification of activities due to fear of crime, and the implementation of self-protection measures at home. The results show that the prevalence of antisocial or criminal behaviors in the environment is the main predictor of perceived insecurity and fear of crime among people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to analyze impoliteness strategies in a sample of Chilean parliamentary discourse. To that effect, this study puts forward an analysis of the discourse sequences manifesting these strategies in a corpus constituted by 28 sessions held between 2005 and 2007 by the honorable Chamber of Representatives of Chile, in which different and controversial issues of public interest were discussed. For the analysis of impoliteness in political discourse carried out in this study, the works of Chilton y Schäffner (1999), Blas Arroyo's (2001 and 2003) and Bolívar's (2005) were consulted, among others. Once the transcriptions of the sessions under analysis were processed, the following impoliteness strategies expressing the representatives' political goals were identified: attacking the opponent's public image and protecting the own public image. Likewise, the first of these strategies was sub-classified into the following tactics: discrediting, ridiculizing, and intimidating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A través de un análisis cualitativo e interpretativo, este artículo describe y analiza los significados que las y los estudiantes de primer grado de una secundaria pública del Distrito Federal otorgan a sus relaciones. Se problematiza su comportamiento como parte de su vida juvenil y de los procesos de socialización y subjetivación entre pares, que entran en tensión con el entorno escolar al derivar en incivilidades. Para las y los adolescentes que se entrevistaron, a quienes desde el juicio docente se les considera como alumnos mal portados a indisciplinados, es natural "llevarse pesado" y "echar relajo" a través de insultos, burlas y bromas. La naturalización de tales comportamientos coma "juegos" reduce la posibilidad de que los alumnos los conciban coma incivilidades evidentes y de que mantengan el control sobre ellos.
