We finish our third year by publishing Verbeia's Number 2. On this occasion, we count on eleven professors' research articles. The publication opens Linguistics section with an interesting article by Zuzana Ďaďová that deals with phonetic variation in the news on Canary Islands Television. No less attractive is Guadalupe Dorado's study of the importance of mother tongue in immigrants' identity. The third manuscript dealing with the social factors that influence the use of metaphors of daily life in the Corpus of PRESEEA in Granada, is carried out by Professor Lorena Martín. Aida Montenegro provides a relevant study on understanding the concept of motivation for learning a foreign language and invites you to analyze the Waldorf approach to language teaching. We close this section with the article by Tamara Robledo and Luisa María González who demonstrates how English can be taught to Secondary education TDH students or students with dyslexia without breaking the normal rhythm of the class. The Literature section begins with the exceptional study by Professor Julián D’Alessandro on the various readings and the disagreements by critics on Cela's novelNuevas andanzas y desventuras de Lazarillo de Tormes. Carmen Gómez Galisteo provides a remarkable analysis of the adolescent vampire narrative and the modernization of the Byronian hero. It is alo relevant the investigation by Professor Daniela Hernández-Hernández on how gender is represented within the literary corpus of Latin American poets Agustini and Neruda. Also interesting is the contribution of Celia López who carries out a contrastive analysis of the translation of Poe's story The Purloined Letter by Borges and Bioy Casares. We finish this section section by closing number 2 with the magnificent study by Dimitrios Tsokanos on the Hellenic allusions in Poe's Berenice. I conclude and I thank the entire Editorial and Scientific Committee for their work, their interest and their help in continuing our journey. Pending new work, we publish our third number with the same enthusiasm from the beginning and with great desire to continue growing. Sonia Sánchez Martínez. Verbeia Editor
