The use of language in El Diario de Juárez and its influence on readers

Abstract

Previous research has treated language as a reflection of modes of thought. There are ways to measure the use of words and, as results indicate, these help explain a community’s environment and social behavior. This work examines the use of the language from those who write in El Diario de Juárez, by analyzing three fragments relating to journalistic notes about the same subject and from different authors. Also, this article emphasizes the influence on speech that this newspaper, and mass media, exerts on the readers.
