This work is a preliminary exploration into how the use of keywords related to "amnesty" in the newspaper El País has evolved over 25 years. Instead of utilizing the full text in natural language, it begins with the thematic indexing of news provided by the media itself in the form of keywords assigned from its controlled vocabulary. A conventional exploration of the data raises numerous questions about the interest of controlled languages in journalistic documentation and how they can serve as data for research in digital humanities and information science, offering a new perspective on the construction of meanings and the analysis of the change in use and sense of terms.References
