        This article offers a corpus-based analysis of locative inversion in journalistic writing. The study focuses on the analysis of the construction in press reportage dealing with cultural, sports, financial, political and spot news in Present-Day English. On the basis of data retrieved from six different corpora, it is argued that the distribution of locative inversion in these texts is related to the degree of the writer's involvement in each text style. Results show that the more involved a text is, the more locative inversions may be expected. The study further demonstrates that the construction itself serves as a discourse marker through which the presence of the writer is encoded in these texts.
        Esta investigación ofrece un análisis, basado en el estudio de corpus, de la inversión locativa en el lenguaje periodístico. El estudio se centra en el análisis de esta construcción en artículos de prensa que incluyen noticias culturales, deportivas, financieras, políticas y de última hora del inglés contemporáneo. Tomando como base datos obtenidos de seis corpus lingüísticos, se demuestra que la distribución de la inversión locativa en los textos analizados está relacionada con el grado de implicación del escritor en cada tipo de texto. Los resultados indican que cuanto mayor implicación del autor haya en el texto, más inversiones locativas cabe esperar. La investigación también demuestra que la inversión locativa puede ser considerada un marcador del discurso mediante el cual se indica la presencia del emisor en los textos.
