The aim of this paper is to analyze metaphors about the social outbreak in editorials, from Diario El Sur and Diario Concepción, two of Concepción's local newspapers. The corpus was composed of 23 editorials from these newspapers. Metaphor identification was done through Discourse Dynamics Approach to Metaphor. A total of 653 metaphors was found, which was then grouped, resulting in a total sum of 268 metaphors for the analysis. In this research, the editorial perspective about the social outbreak of two local newspapers was studied through metaphor. In both media outlets, similar metaphor vehicles were used. While Diario El Sur prioritizes the need for normalization, Diario Concepción legitimates the demonstrations as an expression of social discontent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the language's identitary space within the migratory process of the arabs onto Chile through the journalistic and literary activities developed by the immigrant community in this country. Secondly, it points out the feeling of arabicity or arabism that promotes and recreates this litterary corpus, which profoundly marks the poetic production of various generations of arab and chilean writers of arab origin. To this end, it presents textual samples of articles from the newspaper al-Iṣlāḥ (La Reforma), later called Mundo Árabe, and various poetic samples from the literary figures: Mahfud Massis (1916-1990), Matías Rafide Batarce (1929) y Emilio Mohor Zummers (1920-2002), amongst other big exponents of the arabic literature.
