| Sumario: | Fil: The aim of this analysis is to compare and contrast two sets of newspaper
opinion articles, one in English and one in Spanish, in order to find signs of
cultural differences between the two sets. The corpus was analyzed from the
Genre Analysis Theory drawing from BTU methodology and Systemic Functional
Analysis. The results show that there is no significant difference among the two
groups in terms of move and step segmentation, as well as of rhetorical and
linguistic differences. However, we can perceive slight variation of move and
step segmentation among the Spanish group as opposed to the English one.
Also, while rhetorical and linguistic features seem to be predominantly
homogeneous, there seems to be variation according to the register of the
newspaper and of the writer in particular, as it has been mentioned in previous
studies. This appreciation should be further analyzed in subsequent studies,
perhaps singling out aspects to be analyzed in isolation and in greater detail than
was the scope of the present work. |
