Descripción
Call for papers for the special issue: “Current Politics and the Printed 
Media: Discursive Tensions in the Age of Populism 3.0”
The second monographic issue of the I-LanD Journal, an international 
peer-reviewed journal, will be centred on the discursive representation 
of current politics in the printed media and will be edited by Miguel 
Ángel Benítez Castro (Department of English and German Studies, 
University of Zaragoza), Francesca De Cesare (Department of Literary, 
Linguistic and Comparative Studies, University of Naples “L’Orientale”), 
Encarnación Hidalgo Tenorio (Department of English and German Studies, 
University of Granada).
The analysis of the argumentative and persuasive strategies underlying 
linguistic ideologies helps to reveal how addressers influence their 
addressees, and how they manage their credibility and legitimacy when 
conveying their messages. As is well-known, discourse is typically 
linked to action, and, as such, it may have multiple effects: 
ideological, interpersonal or a combination of both. Mass media, and 
particularly the printed press, play a paramount role in the 
articulation of these effects, by institutionalising and promoting 
certain discourses at the expense of others. The current international 
political arena is a fertile ground for the study of the relationship 
between language use and ideology, especially as present in newspapers.
Given the thematic scope of this issue, contributions should adhere to 
any of the following broad research strands: - Relationships between 
linguistic ideologies and the socio-political contexts where these 
emerge - Argumentative and persuasive strategies underlying linguistic 
ideologies - Different linguistic ideologies present in the printed 
press More specific topics of discussion are listed below: - Right-wing 
populism in conservative and left-wing tabloid and broadsheet newspapers 
- Left-wing populism in conservative and left-wing tabloid and 
broadsheet newspapers - Populisms in Europe (e.g. France, Germany, 
Spain, Russia, Netherlands, Greece, Italy) - Populisms in America (e.g. 
United States, Latin America) - Populisms in Asia (e.g. Korea, China, Syria)
- Populism and terrorism - Women and populism
Contributions are expected to be discursively inspired in their 
methodology, so that they may draw on any of the following approaches: 
rhetoric, semiotics, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, 
systemic-functional grammar, critical discourse analysis, visual 
grammar, corpus-assisted discourse analysis, or computational 
linguistics, to name but a few.
Both Spanish and English original manuscripts will be considered for 
publication in this issue, which will comprise two sections, one for 
each language.

approximately 500 words, excluding references.
