La metodologia consiste en la coleccion de conjuntos lexicos; el estudio de rasgos distintivos; la identificacion de las colocaciones apropiadas, las restricciones contextuales y los posibles usos metaforicos de cada palabra del conjunto.

It is argued that such resources indirectly position readers in a stance similar to the writer's own, which places him/her in control of the material and thus, ultimately, of the readers' views. The study concluded that none of the individual strategi...

A pesar de la enorme produccion de escritos literarios, academicos y personales (novelas, poemas, diarios, cartas, ensayos, editoriales, etc.), su obra es aun muy desconocida en el mundo hispanoparlante. El articulo presenta una vision panoramica de su obra y estilo dentro del contexto sociopolitico en que fueron escritos, con especial enfasis en su epistolario. Sus cartas, que completan 32 volumenes, son una valiosisima fuente de informacion acerca de lo mas profundo de su ser y sus relaciones interpersonales; de su espiritu ardiente y vehemente y de su calido y amable corazon.
