Bajo la hipótesis de que los hablantes jóvenes son más tolerantes hacia los textismos y su inclusión en el aula, se analiza la percepción de la influencia de los textismos en la ortografía de una muestra de 264 profesores en formación pertenecientes a la Generación Z, alfabetizados en un entorno de escritura digital. Los resultados indican que, aunque los participantes consideran que los textismos se deben incluir en el aula como recurso didáctico, simultáneamente piensan que son perjudiciales para la ortografía y los deben corregir. Los resultados del estudio muestran también que la percepción de los participantes varía según las diferentes categorías de textismos. Los valores normativos de los grafemas en la escritura culta se consideran más dañinos para la ortografía. Sin embargo, los elementos multimodales y los que no alteran la relación entre fonemas y grafemas gozan de una mayor tolerancia. Se concluye que desde la universidad se debe dotar a los profesores en formación de las competencias necesarias para que sean capaces de superar los prejuicios asociados a los textismos e incorporarlos a su práctica docente.

Although gender-role stereotypes in children’s literature have been widely explored, the study of the role of mothers and their representation in picturebooks has not received much attention from the academic world, especially as far as Spain is concerned. This paper analyses a sample of seven picturebooks published in Spain over the last 7 years -all by awarded authors and widely reviewed in some of the most popular Spanish blogs on Children’s and Youth Literature (CYL)-and focused on the maternal figure. It aims to provide a panoramic view of the representations of the role of the mother as a paradigm of the changes seen in Spanish society, studying the representation of her voice, emotions, and ties to other members of her family through a systemic functional-multimodal discourse analysis applied to picturebooks. The results reveal that, for the first time, the mother’s voice and her right to explore her own feelings are included in her characterisation, and also, that her relationship with the rest of the family includes different aspects—children, society, work, partner, and self-care. In conclusion, the conception of motherhood as proposed to Spanish families through picturebooks seems to be finally changing, evolving from fixed stereotypes and allowing the expression of contradictory feelings related to maternity.

The article analyses the use of GFL in a corpus of 187 academic texts created by pre-service teachers. It reveals how participants reached a balance between the recommendations of GFL guides and the standard normative grammar included in the school curriculum. The study shows that although future teachers are aware of GFL and sensitive to discrimination, they used a combination of the generic masculine with GFL recommendations when deemed necessary. This has great pedagogical potential for the Spanish classroom, together with the potential to transform language and society.
