Estrategias Populistas: Un Acercamiento Al Discurso Político Español Desde La Lingüística De Corpus, Alicia Juncos Zori

This dissertation focuses on the representation of Ecuadorians in Spain between 2000 and 2015 in literature, film and the press. After enduring a decade of economic, climatic, and political problems, more than 175,000 Ecuadorians emigrated to Spain in 2001 alone (Herrera 2005). This process marked the beginning of a major migratory movement which has caused Spain to become a premier destination.
