Abstract

This article is in line with mitigation studies and focuses on the analysis of this phenomenon in news items. A qualitative analysis has been performed on a corpus of news items from three Spanish newspapers to unravel the key factors of the mitigation process (attenuating resources, triggers and mitigated elements). Likewise, the different attenuating functions indentified were also studied. The analysis is based primarily on the premises of Caffi (2007), Albelda y Briz (2013) and Albelda y otros (2014). The concrete goal of this study is to offer a systematized description of the mitigation strategies found in the corpus.
