En el contexto social actual, la discriminación por razones de género es, por desgracia, una lacra todavía presente, por lo que consideramos que es necesario tanto el tratamiento de cuestiones de igualdad de género como la prevención de usos discriminatorios de la lengua en el aula. Para abordar esta problemática en nuestro ámbito académico, el de los Estudios Ingleses, hemos realizado un análisis previo de las actitudes y del grado de concienciación del alumnado en lo que concierne a esta realidad y a asignaturas que integran contenidos relativos al género. Para ello, hemos elaborado un cuestionario compuesto por un total de treinta y nueve preguntas dirigido específicamente al alumnado de dicho grado. Gracias a ello hemos podido diagnosticar problemas —en mayor o menor grado latentes— en relación a cuestiones como la visibilidad no equitativa entre mujeres y hombres en general, y en el uso de la lengua en particular, lo que nos ha permitido diseñar determinadas tareas con el fin de otorgar un papel más notorio a cuestiones de género, siempre dentro del marco y cumpliendo con lo que las guías docentes establecen.

This article deals with both the word-formation mechanism of blending and the creative process involved in providing characters with proper names in cartoons or TV series for children in English. The study addresses the nature and features of proper and common names, two apparently well-distinguished categories, as well as, and basically fictional proper names, by suggesting differences between fictional proper names and other types of proper and common names. Furthermore, it discusses the presence of blending in fiction and in fictional proper names, with special reference to charactonyms. The main focus of this work is on blended charactonyms in cartoons addressed to children, which for the purposes of this study will be called cartoonyms or charactoons. Questions such as the following are addressed: the formation or creation of cartoonyms or charactoons from pre-existing material; the semantic motivations behind their formation; their resulting structural complexity; their particularly descriptive, expressive and meaningful nature; as well as how suitable they are to the genre in which they are used.

Terminologists’ interest in studying the role of metaphor and metaphorical terms in specialized communication has proliferated since the first papers addressing this issue appeared in the 1990s. However, we believe that some facets of terminological meaning still remain overlooked or merit further analysis. This paper attempts to contribute to the study of one of these facets: the figurative meaning of some compound terms used in the domain of luxury marketing and business. In order to present a systematized view of this phenomenon we will adopt some theoretical tools from the Conventional Figurative Language Theory, in order to confirm the validity of some of its postulates for compound term analysis. Next, a contrastive approach between English, Spanish and Russian compound terms will put the theoretical ideas into practice with the aim of illustrating their applied and metalinguistic potential. Some basic conclusions will be offered at the end of the paper.

La mayoría de las sociedades conceden distintos roles a las mujeres y a los hombres, es decir, hay distintos roles o funciones sociales basados en el género. Una de las muestras más claras de esto se puede ver en la división del trabajo, pues en muchas ocasiones las mujeres se ocupan de labores de cuidado y de hacer los trabajos domésticos (Pérez et al., 2006: 18). En este sentido, la socialización tradicional ha fomentado que las mujeres sean esposas y madres. Estos dos roles son respetables y esenciales en la sociedad si se eligen con libertad y sin privar a las mujeres de conciliar estos con trabajar fuera de casa y/o ocupar posiciones de liderazgo.

La educación para la paz ha despertado especial interés en contextos en los que los valores asociados a ésta y los derechos humanos se están viendo cercenados. En Europa, este fenómeno puede equipararse a la situación de crisis económica en la que se encuentran numerosos países. Este artículo pretende ser una contribución a la enseñanza universitaria activa que esté basada en competencias sociales y enmarcada en los principios de la educación para la paz. En este sentido, este trabajo presenta una propuesta de actividades que contribuyen a potenciar los principios y valores que propone la educación para la paz. Se expone el modo de llevar a cabo actividades orales transversales que fomenten la educación para la paz en dos asignaturas de estudios de grado de la Universidad de Alicante, Lengua Inglesa III y Lingüística General I. Como resultado de su implementación, se señala que esta metodología fomenta la adquisición de competencias sociales del alumnado entre las que destacan la resolución de conflictos, la escucha activa o la cooperación.

The University of the 21st century has to establish links with society and prepare students for the demands of the working world. Therefore, this article is a contribution to the integral preparation of university students by proposing the use of authentic texts with social content in English lessons so that students acquire emotional and social competencies while still learning content. This article will explain how the choice of texts on global issues such as racism and gender helps students to develop skills such as social awareness and critical thinking to deepen their understanding of discrimination, injustice or gender differences in both oral and written activities. A proposal will be presented which involves using the inauguration speech from Mandela's presidency and texts with photographs of women so that students analyse them whilst utilising linguistic tools that allow them to explore a text's social dimension.

Although frequently discarded and despised in the 20th century, translation now seems to find wider acceptance within the Second Language Teaching (SLT) field. However, it still has a long way to go before recovering its due place in the L2 classroom. The aim of this paper is to suggest a number of translation (and interpreting)-based activities covering the different competence levels, thus showing that communicative content and translation can perfectly go hand in hand so that old, unjustified prejudices can be superseded once and for all.
