Recibido 12 de septiembre de 2013 Aceptado: 17 de marzo de 2014 ResumenLos medios de comunicación juegan un rol fundamental en la percepción social del proceso migratorio y de las minorías étnicas. A través del análisis de un conjunto de emisiones de Catalunya Radio, RAC1 y la COPE, el estudio que presentamos pretende determinar si el discurso radiofónico se fundamenta en un lenguaje inclusivo que contribuye a la cohesión social, o bien promueve un sobredimensionamiento de los conflictos contribuyendo a extender la xenofobia. Coincidiendo con la crisis, el lenguaje excluyente se consolida y se extiende en los medios. El análisis desarrollado evidencia el uso de conceptos y estra tegias discursivas que remiten, por una parte, al racismo moderno y, por otra, al lenguaje del odio, siendo frecuentes las imprecisiones, la invisibilidad u homogeneización de determinados colectivos, la contra posición nosotrosellos o enfoques basados en el conflicto que enfatizan las diferencias étnicas. Palabras clave: lenguaje, discurso, inmigración, radio, inclusión Immigration, Economic Crisis, and Radio Discourse: Breeding Ground for an Excluding Kind of Language Abstract The media play a pivotal role in shaping a society's view of migration processes and of the ethnic mi norities brought about by such processes. By analyzing a series of broadcasts by (Catalan radio networks) Catalunya Ràdio and RAC1, and by (Spainwide radio network) COPE, the study we introduce here pur ported to determine whether radio broadcast discourse in Catalonia is engendering an inclusive type of language that contributes to social unity or whether it is overstating conflict and thus helping to spread xenophobia instead. In times of economic crisis, instances of excluding language seem to gain currency and grow more widespread throughout the media. Our analysis shows how both the concepts and the dis course strategies used in these broadcasts refer us in part to hate speech and to a modern type of racism more generally, as they are rife with inaccuracies about certain groups, deny minorities of proper visibi lity, erase their internal differences by unduly homogenizing them, and overstress ethnic opposition by emphasizing the us vs. them antagonism and by using conflictbased approaches to deal with these to pics.
