Abstract

In this work an analysis has been made of the Information Society from a linguistic viewpoint, presenting the information available for three reference communities: the Spanish, the English and the French. The analysis carried out for the Spanish-speaking community clearly links the presence of Spanish on the Internet with the state in which the Information Society is to be found in countries making up this area. Nevertheless, the pre-eminence of English in this medium shows up the existence of other factors which have favoured it being considered as the lingua franca of communication. En este trabajo se ha realizado un análisis de la Sociedad de la Información desde una perspectiva lingüística, presentando la información disponible para tres comunidades de referencia: la del español, la del inglés y la del francés. El análisis llevado a cabo para la comunidad hispanohablante vincula claramente la presencia del castellano en Internet con el estadio en que se encuentra la Sociedad de la Información en los países que componen esta área. No obstante, la preeminencia del inglés en este medio pone de manifiesto la existencia de muchos otros factores que han favorecido su consideración de lengua franca de comunicación.
