Abstract

Review

This review concerns Beatriz Gallardo's 2024 publication, *Contra el lenguaje. La connotación política en la era del sobresalto*, a work originating from the Universitat de València's Department of Theory of Languages and Communication Sciences. The book's title immediately signals an ambitious and highly timely exploration, positioning language itself as a potential site of critical inquiry ("Contra el lenguaje") and focusing on the critical role of political connotation in an era characterized by rapid and often disorienting events ("la era del sobresalto"). This promises a deep dive into the semiotics and pragmatics of political discourse, likely touching upon how linguistic choices shape public perception and response in volatile contemporary societies. Regrettably, without an accompanying abstract for Gallardo's work, a detailed assessment of its specific arguments, methodological framework, or key findings remains beyond the scope of this review. The absence of an abstract prevents a critical engagement with the book's internal structure, the particular theoretical lenses it employs, or any empirical evidence it might present to support its claims. One can only infer from the provocative title that the book likely offers a critical analysis of how political language functions, perhaps deconstructing the mechanisms through which meaning is manipulated or understood within contemporary socio-political landscapes, and how these linguistic dynamics contribute to or reflect the pervasive "era of shock." Despite the inability to delve into its specific content, the premise of *Contra el lenguaje* is undeniably pertinent to current academic and public discourse. The interplay between language, politics, and societal 'sobresalto' is a central concern for scholars across linguistics, communication studies, political science, and sociology. As such, Gallardo's work, based on its compelling title and disciplinary affiliation, appears poised to offer significant insights into the contemporary challenges of understanding and navigating political communication. Researchers and students interested in critical discourse analysis, political linguistics, and the impact of communication on public opinion will undoubtedly find this volume a compelling and relevant contribution to the field, warranting direct engagement to fully appreciate its scholarly impact.
