Selección léxica y encuadre conceptual en el discurso de los progresistas españoles respecto a los debates de género de la XII legislatura (2016-2019)

Abstract

This study analyzes the parliamentary discourse on gender equality made by PSOE and Unidos Podemos during the XII legislature (2016-2019). The research is based on a corpus made up of 77,828 words extracted from the thirty plenary debates that addressed issues related to gender equality during the XII legislature. The study combines the quantitative and qualitative perspectives to analyze whether there are asymmetries in the use of terms such as feminism, equality, cuidados or machismo. The analysis of the use of 31 lexical items shows that there are differences between the two parties, and that Unidos Podemos is the one that most frequently uses this kind of terms. This quantitative approach is completed with a qualitative study that analyzes which frames activate these words. The objective of this research is to give an account of how progressive political parties use the main terms in vogue in debates about gender equality. The main goal is, therefore, to see how ideology influences the lexical selection of political discourse.
