El diseño propone una unidad de análisis metodológicamente bilingüe que procura integrar las perspectivas del análisis discursivo y del análisis conceptual comparado. Para introducirlo, se discuten las propuestas sistemáticas fundamentales de Merton, Ritzer, Schluchter y Mascareño.]]></p></abstract>
