Main Research Topics:

The research area of the Communication and Migration group is based on the hypothesis that the migrant population achieves greater and smoother social integration in the host community if the process of sociolinguistic and communicative integration is accelerated. This process of social integration is conditioned by multiple factors, including the linguistic attitudes of immigrants and recipients, the availability of resources for translation and mediation, and the discursive characterisation of the migratory phenomenon in both advertising and digital media. In this context, the Communication and Migration group approaches the study of the migrant population from a multidisciplinary perspective that includes linguistics, discourse analysis, translation, technology, advertising, and journalism.
