Resumen

El objetivo de la presente investigación es abordar la variación y ductilidad de conceptos aparentemente claros e inequívocos relacionados con los roles profesionales habituales. El estudio se centra en las estructuras semánticas, y subsecuentes modelos cognitivos, asociados con el término boss, tal y como son expresados y transmitidos en la actualidad a través de los grandes medios de comunicación británicos. El análisis lingüístico, cualitativo y cuantitativo, de un corpus significativo de textos en los que aparece este término muestra claras diferencias en su significado, dependiendo de factores clave como la orientación sociopolítica e ideológica de la plataforma de publicación.
