Gender and social/sexual (in)equality research group - GENTEXT

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2015-230

 
Description of research activity:
The GENTEXT research group has been working in depth for several years on the compilation, analysis and exploitation of different corpora of socio-ideological texts. In particular, we are working on the following corpora: GENTEXT-N (texts from print media) GENTEXT-W (texts from virtual forums and social media) GENTEXT-I (texts from the Internet) In other words, the GENTEXT group has been compiling, analysing and exploiting media texts (from both print and digital media), in English and Spanish, focusing on issues related to gender and social/sexual (in)equality. In order to delimit this very broad thematic area, the preferred subjects of study are: Gender-based violence Homosexuality Abortion With this vast amount of study material, we aim to: Produce specialised corpora. Analyse said corpora, combining quantitative (corpus linguistics) and qualitative (critical discourse analysis, lexical pragmatics, evaluation theory, gender studies) methodologies. Elaborate a pragmatic-ideological dictionary (initially in Spanish, and in the long term in English) including a detailed treatment of key words on gender and contemporary social and sexual (in)equality....The GENTEXT research group has been working in depth for several years on the compilation, analysis and exploitation of different corpora of socio-ideological texts.
