Sumario:The Semanario Patriótico was published successively in Madrid, Seville and Cadiz between 1808 and 1812. Among the articles of this newspaper there can be found some of the most remarkable examples on the history of Spanish political journalism, whose early origins can be tracked down to the monarchical crisis generated by the Napoleonic invasion, attracting many writers into the realm of political thought and praxis. In this paper we focus on the analysis of the political articles of the first two editions, when published in Madrid (by Manuel Quintana) and Seville (by José Maria Blanco), identifying the authors as publishers who were building their arguments up during the conflictive development of events. Our main focus will be set on the pragmatic dimension of discourses, analyzing the political language available for the authors to use, in order to approach the articles published in the Semanario Patriótico as a set of responses to the political situation inaugurated by the so called Spanish Revolution of 1808.
