It is based on the cultural and linguistic contrast, using corpus linguistics as a basis, between several modern majority languages such as Peninsular Spanish and English. The aim is to clarify concepts and look for practical applications both at a particular level between specific communicative communities and at a global level within the educational setting, as well as in social and professional communication, such as business communication. The tools of corpus linguistics, from a cross-cultural perspective, prove to be essential both for the collection of real data and compilation of corpora and for their analysis and application of results. In this team, the study of current social and professional communication is approached in symbiosis with the digital world, not only as a mediator, but also as a target for new generation applications.
The group also studies contrastive linguistics and its application to translation at a lexical-semantic and pragmatic-discursive level between majority languages, e.g. Peninsular Spanish and English, in specialised fields such as health sciencies as well as in other academic and professional contexts.

The group approaches language variation from different perspectives that integrate the multiple variables that interact in current communication. The predominant approach is the pragma-semantic variationist one, highlighting the interpersonal and multimodal versatility of communication and its influence on social, professional and educational transformations. In a pioneering way, the team approaches variation in all fields of applied linguistics from a multidisciplinary perspective.

If these ways of meaning music are known, the processes of construction of musical knowledge (procedural and declarative) can also be known, and contributions can be made to the knowledge of initial and continuous teacher training, as well as to the training processes from pedagogy and didactics.
