Abstract

Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing coverage of transgender people in Latin American and Spanish media. However, there are very few research studies that thoroughly examine the increasing use of terms such as transgender “transgénero” and trans in Spanish-speaking press. This contribution studies the linguistic representation of transgender people in Spanish-speaking quality press produced in Colombia and Spain. Within the framework of Queer Linguistics and Corpus-based Discourse Analysis, this article explores the linguistic choices employed by the Spanish-speaking press to name transgender people and examines the main differences in the linguistic choices made by newspapers in the two countries. Unlike in English, the findings suggest that trans and transexual are the most commonly used labels in Spanish. Although the semantic categories of representation are seen to differ between the two countries, the linguistic choices observed seem to be closely linked to sociopolitical and ideological preferences.
基于语料库的西班牙语媒体跨性别标签语篇分析
在过去的二十年里,拉丁美洲和西班牙媒体对变性人的报道越来越多。然而,很少有研究能彻底检查西班牙语媒体中越来越多地使用跨性别者“transgénero”和跨性别者等术语。这篇文章研究了哥伦比亚和西班牙制作的西班牙语优质媒体中跨性别者的语言表现。本文在酷儿语言学和基于语料库的语篇分析的框架内,探讨了西班牙语报刊对跨性别者的语言选择,并考察了两国报刊在语言选择上的主要差异。与英语不同,研究结果表明,跨性别和变性是西班牙语中最常用的标签。尽管两国的语义表征类别不同,但观察到的语言选择似乎与社会政治和意识形态偏好密切相关。
