The growing interest in rural tourism within Spain has been given an extra impetus due to the increased demand in the region of Castile and Leon. There is now a noteworthy boost in the number of businesses which cater to tourists and in the number of rooms available. However, the traditional source markets - national clients - are slowing; therefore, the region of Castile and Leon needs to grow their national market to a wider international level. The purpose of this study is to analyze if the rural hospitality industry experiences cultural and language proficiency problems when hosting international travelers and, if so, to propose adequate solutions. A survey has been carried out among different workers of the sector in Castile and Leon. This needs analysis reveals that the hospitality industry lacks a mastery of English communication, which greatly limits the possibilities of the hospitality industry to effectively provide good service to international tourists. A possible soluti...

En el presente estudio la autora realiza un analisis linguistico y retorico de 80 resumenes escritos en ingles y espanol por hablantes nativos. Los textos analizados pertenecen a publicaciones medicas y linguisticas. Como base teorica previa al analisis se revisan aspectos en torno a la retorica contrastiva, el multiculturalismo y el genero. Los resultados indican que el discurso escrito del genero de los resumenes no presenta profundas diferencias culturales o de areas de conocimiento, debido a los convencionalismos multinacionales y a la universalidad existentes en este tipo de textos. A pesar de esto, si se definen una serie de diferencias entre los diversos grupos estudiados en cuanto a las diversas variables linguisticas y retoricas analizadas.

Las fichas descriptivas de las manzanas en las páginas web de empresas de fruta fresca incluyen información detallada respecto a sus características sensoriales. En este trabajo, a partir de un análisis contrastivo español-inglés de las referencias utilizadas para denominar los aspectos gustativos, así como sus colocaciones más frecuentes, basándonos en los datos de un corpus ad hoc comparable bilingüe, hemos detectado que la descripción del gusto hace referencia a cuatro aspectos fundamentales: al nivel de dulzor o acidez, a la evocación a distintos alimentos y bebidas, al perfume y al tacto. Además, dicha descripción va frecuentemente acompañada de amplificadores o mitigadores léxicos para expresar con precisión la mezcla de matices.

This needs analysis reveals that the hospitality industry lacks a mastery of English communication, which greatly limits the possibilities of the hospitality industry to effectively provide good service to international tourists. A possible solution to address this situation would be through education and training. Thus, with the information gathered through the survey, we have designed a program of English for Rural Tourism for the wooing of and catering to international tourists. We have taken into account the peculiarities of the region in terms of culture, heritage, environment and gastronomy, but also, different aspects of the acculturation of this industry are deemed.

Our aim is to give an account of the pro-cess carried out in the compilation of a multilingual lexicon of rural tourism terms. This lexicon provides equivalents of Spanish local culturally-loaded terms in English, French and Portuguese, the languages spoken by the vast majority of visitors to Castile and Leon. This tool will contribute to improve the communi-cation in the catering industry in this re-gion and will prove to be a user-friendly and time-saving device. More specifi-cally, we have created this termi-nographic tool as a contribution to: (i) the understanding and fruitful communication between foreign visitors and local workforce; (ii) the specific language needs of this workforce involved in facilitating a pleasant stay to foreign travelers; (iii) the learning of the uses, needs and preferences of tourists; (iv) the avoidance of pitfalls in written texts - web pages, menus, letters, bro-chures, etc. Our lexicon consists of over 4,600 terms in Spanish and their equivalents in English, French and Por-tuguese.

Why explore the relationship between language, image, women and alcohol ads? Language and image are the central means of current communication media, whilst women and alcohol are terms commonly related to pleasure, sexuality and materiality. With alcohol ads, containing so many messages and images exposing women as objectified sexual symbols, it is highly unlikely that these ideas would have no impact on media spectators.
This article sets out to establish what actual message alcohol ads, both in English and Spanish magazines, send to contemporary audiences about women, and what the impact of those messages might be. We will consider some of the previous writings on the representation of women in ads, for proceeding to present afterwards our resources, methodological procedures, and analysis of particular deconstructed alcohol ads where language and image are the weapons degrading women as sexually alluring stereotypes with the sole aim of selling the product.
