Perspectives
It's part of the project “Estudio de la lectura en discursos legislativos y medios de comunicación social en la Península Ibérica (1999-2012)” developed thanks to the scholarship 'Becas Iberoamérica de Jóvenes Profesores Investigadores' of Banco Santander during an international stay at the University of Aveiro (Portugal) in 2014. So, it's a continuation of the project done in the Ph.D. thesis. Later on, it will be amplified to a wider scope, (Iberian Peninsula) in order to be able to contrast both countries.
