Resumen
- This paper aims to identify the main discursive types used when talking about organ transplants and to observe the presence of the concept of death in these types. We will summarize the main lines of research on this issue and proceed to analyze a sample of journal documents on transplants published in the newspaper El País in two different stages (1976–1986 and 2006–2016) and in which ‘death’ appears in the headline or in the subtitle. The analysis is aimed at locating main themes, basic arguments and lexical structures used to refer to death in this information framework.
