The crime of drug trafficking in the Spanish legal system. A review of some of the most important issues of current criminal regulation

El presente artículo realiza una breve exposición sobre la regulación penal española en relación al delito de tráfico de drogas y los preceptos aplicables a aquellas personas que delinquen como consecuencia de su drogodependencia. Si bien existe una vinculación entre drogas y delincuencia, no existe unanimidad sobre cuál es el mecanismo que debe utilizar el Estado para hacer frente a dicho consumo y tráfico, el legislador español ha optado por una regulación amplia del delito de tráfico de drogas, lo cual resulta ciertamente excesivo. Es por ello, que se analizará la regulación de este delito en el artículo 368 del Código Penal de español.This article makes a brief presentation on the Spanish criminal regulation in relation to the crime of drug trafficking and the precepts applicable to those people who commit crimes as a result of their drug dependence. Although the existing link between drugs and crime there is no unanimity on what is the mechanism that the State should use to deal with such consumption and trafficking, the Spanish legislator has opted for a broad regulation of the crime of drug trafficking, which results certainly excessive. That is why the regulation of this crime will be analyzed in article 368 of the Spanish Criminal Code

Sentence comprehension before and after 1970: Topics, debates and techniques

[EN] Language Down the Garden Path traces the lines of research that grew out of Bever's classic paper. Leading scientists review over 40 years of debates on the factors at play in language comprehension, production, and acquisition (the role of prediction, grammar, working memory, prosody, abstractness, syntax and semantics mapping); the current status of universals and narrow syntax; and virtually every topic relevant in psycholinguistics since 1970. Written in an accessible and engaging style, the book will appeal to all those interested in understanding the questions that shaped, and are still shaping, this field and the ways in which linguists, cognitive scientists, psychologists, and neuroscientists are seeking to answer them

Journalism in Democracy: A Discourse Analysis of Twitter Posts on the Ferrerasgate Scandal

This research analyses the discourse on Twitter surrounding the "Ferrerasgate" scandal involving the Spanish journalist Antonio García Ferreras, director and host of the television show Al Rojo Vivo (La Sexta, Spanish TV channel). It examines the main object of criticism, the tone of the discourse, the argumentation made by users, as well as the existence of hate in their rhetoric. The tweets included in the study’s sample (N = 2,846), posted between 5 and 15 July 2022 and extracted on 16 July 2022, were examined in two complementary phases. The first entailed a quantitative content analysis of the messages and the second analysed whether hate speech was found in the sample as a whole. The Sketch Engine tool was used to determine whether "crypto hate speech" existed in the sample as a whole, and to whom it was targeted. The results reveal that "Ferrerasgate" sparked a debate that spilt over into journalism across the board, calling into question the media’s role in a democracy. The most prominent arguments were the condemnation of misinformation, lack of independence, and absence of professionalism in the journalism sector. It should be noted that most of the messages were destructive in tone; hate was found in the tweets analysed, although these did not represent a high percentage in relation to the total sample

The beginning of the end of Adolfo Suárez. Press and television faced with the Andalusian autonomous process (1980)

El presente artículo interpreta el debate político y mediático que se generó en 1980 a raíz del proceso autonómico en Andalucía. La metodología se basa en un análisis de contenido cualitativo de los editoriales y de los artículos de opinión que se publicaron en El País y ABC, junto a un examen del papel que jugó Televisión Española en el desarrollo del autogobierno en dicha región.
