Polarization has become a popular word in recent years, as its meaning has been extended beyond the political field to any situation of conflict in other contexts. This work presents a detailed study of the frequency, contexts and meaning extension of the word in a corpus of news from the two main Spanish newspapers, El País and El Mundo, in 2021. For this, methodologies from both Corpus Linguistics and Critical Socio-cognitive Discourse Analysis have been combined, by analyzing frequencies, collocations, syntactic constructions as well as contexts, image schemas and the conceptual metaphors that shape its meaning. Results point to a possible abuse of the term in the media and the confirmation of polarization as a keyword, playing an essential role in political and media discourse, defining the current socio-cultural context in Spain.
