Abstract
The CETEHIPL (Centro de Estudios de Tecnología Educativa y Herramientas Informáticas de Procesamiento del Lenguaje) has been working on the pedagogical application of computer tools to language teaching [8]. Today we took a small turn towards discourse analysis and chose to analyze a recurring topic in post-pandemic Argentina: insecurity. Here we intended to record what impact insecurity had and still has on the linguistic domain. We built a corpus of journalistic texts published in December 2021 in the main newspapers in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. We drew our attention to expressions referring to the victim, to the role of the State and to the perpetrator. We created tags to account for terms referring to the discourse of insecurity and included some lexical items provided by lunfardo, a Rioplatense slang originally created by immigrants, but which later became a colloquial and informal language variety still in use in our country. We tackled this issue of insecurity with the Rioplatense Spanish resources developed by the IES_UNR team with NooJ. To complete our analysis, we developed grammars to show how the impact of insecurity is made visible from a syntactic viewpoint.
