    Estado, población penal y coronavirus: un análisis discursivo de la promulgación de la Ley de Indulto General Conmutativo en Chile
    (2021) Toro Varela, Francisca Pilar; Riffo, J. G.
    This study is focused on the representations of the social actors -persons deprived of liberty and the State- as of the enactment of the Commutative General Pardon Law (LIGC from the Spanish name), issued on April 2020 in the context of Covid-19 pandemic. Due to fast contagion spread in the country, overcrowding conditions observed over the years in prison complexes have been matter of interest among authorities. The enactment of this Law represents an opportunity to discuss about how representations upon inmates and upon itself are configured by the state. Thus, the objective of the study is to describe how the social actors involved are represented: people deprived of their freedom and the state. Acknowledging this image might impact on the conception that civil society has about such actors, and also, it represents a foundational perspective for the formulation of public policy and future laws. The corpus corresponds to the written version of the law enactment broadcasting which was analyzed through the systems of PERIODICITY and APPRAISAL from the approach of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The results of this study show that the State is represented as a social actor who is responsible towards its citizens and legitimized by a positively appraised law. Regarding the prison population, those inmates who benefit from the LIGC are represented as vulnerable, while those who does not benefit from it, are represented as dangerous..

    Sujetos no-canónicos en latín arcaico
    (2023) Toro Varela, Francisca Pilar; Orqueda, Verónica; Torrego, María Esperanza; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Letras
    El estudio revisa dos tipos de sujetos no-canónicos (o no-nominativos) en latín arcaico: los potenciales sujetos en caso acusativo y los potenciales sujetos en caso dativo, presentes en cinco tipos de predicados verbales que emplean argumentos no-canónicos en su estructura, con el fin de comprobar su estatus de sujeto en estas construcciones. Para ello, discutimos la noción de sujeto tradicional y, a partir de una perspectiva funcional y coherente tipológicamente, sometimos a los argumentos verbales de las predicaciones no-canónicas del latín a diversas pruebas sintácticas, semánticas y pragmáticas que son capaces de superar los elementos sujetos en muchas lenguas del mundo.
