Linguistic policies in television media: the case of “Guardianes de la lengua” of Canal Encuentro.

Abstract

The treatment of problems around languages ​​in television media necessarily implies starting from certain linguistic and political conceptions. In the case of the program worked here, “Guardians of the language” of Canal Encuentro, this approach is carried out with certain premises that construct meanings in relation to indigenous communities, the link with their language and culture, and the roles of agents involved in the revitalization processes of endangered languages. Our work will be organized into four sections in which we will first introduce the case in question along with our objectives and hypotheses, and in the following three sections we will deepen the analysis by developing our investigation from different axes that enable a sequential and detailed approach to those premises worked on in the program.
