Identidad social y discursiva del turista: su construcción a partir de la oferta de valores abstractos

2017

Este artículo examina cómo la página web hotelera mercantiliza valores simbólicos abstractos, y de qué manera ello incide en la construcción discursiva de un actor social 'turista'. Para ello se propone un análisis cualitativo desde el marco del Análisis Crítico del Discurso, concretamente desde la vertiente socio-cultural de Fairclough (2002), que a su vez parte del sistema de transitividad de Halliday (1985).
