Resumen: The cross-cultural pragmatics literature has paid considerable attention to the various strategies that speakers deploy when performing the speech act of requesting. This is because the degree of imposition that making a request places upon one's interlocutor(s) has been seen to be subject to cross-gender and cross-linguistic/cultural variation in terms of use and interpretation. To our knowledge, however, there are virtually no contrastive studies on Peninsular Spanish and British English within this field. Wanting to address this, and whilst acknowledging the limitations of discourse completion tests (DCTs), we employed one such test as a suitable tool for obtaining a large amount of data from male and female Spanish and British undergraduates (aged 19-25). The data was analyzed and treated not as authentic speech/discourse but as reflecting informants' perceptions and beliefs about appropriate linguistic behaviour in the performance of requests in different situations controlled for power and social distance. Thus, ours is a pragmatic approach that attempts to account for these perceptions and beliefs, which are included in the "assumptions about social roles, positions, rights and obligations [that] are part of the (usually unstated) background knowledge that is routinely brought to bear on the interpretation of utterances" (Cameron 1998: 445).

Resumen: Since the early 2000s, a number of researchers have devoted themselves to the study of wine language and discourse, and especially the genre of wine tasting notes. They have analyzed various aspects of tasting notes: their rhetorical structure, their terminology, their use of metaphors, among others. What the vast majority of these studies have attempted to show is what features most tasting notes share; in other words, they have tried to identify what a typical tasting note is like. However, analysis of tasting notes corpora reveals a number of subtle differences not only from one language to another, but also within a given language. Therefore, in this paper we have attempted to identify and categorize these differences, using an English and Spanish comparable corpus, with each language corpus subdivided into three subcorpora, on the basis of the origin of the tasting notes. Differences in content categories, format and style, both in the subcorpora of each language and between the two languages, are analyzed and discussed. Overall, the English subcorpora reveal greater variation than the Spanish ones, with some features figuring prominently in a given subcorpus and being almost invisible in another.

Resumen: This paper presents an outline of, and some details from, an exploratory contrastive study of citations in medical research articles (RAs) based on a specially-designed corpus. The first section considers some theoretical implications of contrastive studies. The second deals with certain aspects of corpus design. The final part illustrates the approach with data from a lexical analysis of one of the citation categories.

Resumen: La cuestión central que se plantea en la presente investigación es la de la caracterización nominal en el contexto de las relaciones interlingüísticas entre la filosofía en lengua alemana y española. Un problema de índole gramatical se imbrica por tanto en un horizonte discursivo de tipo textual, interpersonal e ideacional.

Resumen: Esta comunicación que gira alrededor de algunos de los fundamentos teóricos de la Teoría Comunicativa de la Terminología (Cabré, 1999), la traducción como una situación comunicativa (Hatim y Mason, 1995) y las concepciones y esquemas de progresión temática (Dan..s, F., 1970) pretende presentar estas tres áreas de conocimiento de manera articulada, a través del análisis contrastivo de los esquemas de progresión temática en un corpus de textos paralelos del subámbito de eutrofización, el cual consta de ocho resúmenes de reportes de investigación denominados en este trabajo "Clústers de Conocimiento
