MONJAS ELETA, María. El lenguaje de los medios de comunicación en los Premios Miguel Delibes. Enunciación [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.1, pp.119-135. ISSN 0122-6339.  https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.14483/22486798.15984.

This article presents an approximation to the way the media address the issue of their own language treatment, how they face the news or deviations from the norm, if the media are used as a language education platform or if they promote recognition of the cultural wealth of Spanish language. For it, has been selected as analysis corpus, 25 texts written by 22 authors awarded in press category, both paper and digital, with the National Journalism Miguel Delibes Prize by the Valladolid Press Association, since its creation 1996. Content analysis allows to obtain quantitative data: the profile of the authors is mostly journalist; most awarded journal is El País, that has the greatest press circulation in Spain, although highlights the presence of journals from Castilla y León, the region where the prize is organized. The investigation reveals that the most common themes are the linguistic correction and the reflection about language evolution. Conclusions, in qualitative terms, identify as a central element the tension, always existing, between the norm and the deviation or innovations. This tension is presented in a triple view: the pessimistic from those who think that the language deteriorates; the optimistic from those who defend language strength and the realistic, that opts for a practical position, use the press as a language education platform.

Keywords : Spanish language; mass media; journalistic language; journalistic writing.
