Estudio de las imágenes y de las figuras retóricas en la prensa

Abstract

Given that one of the functions of the press is to inform us about facts and events, in this study we intend to explain some of the stylistic resources and images most widely used in the press in order to heighten, reject or denigrate some of the information presented. Through the study of images and rhetorical figures, we will approach the intrinsic thought of the author. We will observe that in the press communication occurs unilaterally: the sender (author of the article) always presents his or her message to the receiver (the reader) and this allows us to foresee the reaction that he or she intends to produce in the receiver.Thus, this study focuses on the way in which facts and events are presented in the press, rather than on the content.
