In times of crisis, how do people conceptualise and communicate their experiences through different forms and channels? How can original research in cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis and crisis studies advance our understanding of the ways in which we interact with and communicate about crisis events?

This book will appeal to a broad readership in linguistics, sociological studies, cognitive sciences, crisis studies as well as language and communication researchers and practitioners.

Visa, tão somente, na medida do possível, alterar a forma como o sujeito é representado perante o próprio meio em ...
La preocupación por la invasión de nuestra intimidad justifica el interés que desde mediados del siglo XX ha suscitado en las esferas democráticas occidentales la privacidad informática.

Francia, pionera a nivel europeo, y siempre fiel a su indiscutible tradición humanista, confiere una voz particular a este debate internacional desde que el 6 de Enero de 1978 se adoptase la llamada Ley de Informática y Libertades. En efecto, "del otro lado de los Pirineos" se reaccionó con premura: sin embargo, en los orígenes de este juego de influencias que caracteriza el sistema de regu...
