| Summary: | The issue of immigration and the discourse of the press is a recurring theme in the ACD’s investigation. In this paper we study the discourse of four American newspapers about the debate that Arizona Law SB 1070 raises. Law that criminalizes the undocumented. we examined 100 texts: first of all, we study the journalistic texts (news and editorials)and after we apply the theory of the actants associate to the semantic macropropositional analysis. The synchronous cut was from April 23, 2010, date of the approval until July 29 date in which it was put into effect.We find that the debate among the participants focuses on the constitutionality or not of the measure and that it leaves out of the discussion those involved, the undocumented immigrants. |
