    with Elena del Pilar Jiménez Pérez
    East European Journal of Psycholinguistics 10 (2): 33-46. 2023.
    If homo sapiens, understood as the evolution of the current human being, was characterized by a cerebral advance and a much more evolved communicative capacity than its ancestors, then it is not conceivable that the origin of writing as the maximum exponent of homo sapiens’need for communication did not improve until many thousands of years later.

    Este trabajo parte de la pregunta ¿cómo comunicó, construyó, justificó y puso en práctica un discurso de retorno a la España de Franco quien fuera el ministro anarquista Juan López Sánchez (1900-1972)?

From a quasi-experimental approach, a method of content analysis is used on a generated corpus based on the 20 m…Read more
