El léxico disponible de Castilla y León

In the first chapter, we explained that the lexicon available of Castilla y León is a work of Linguistic research of Lexical Availability, the field of research that aims at the gathering and subsequent analysis of the available lexicon of a given speech community. Our work is part of a larger project: the pam-Hispanic Project of available lexicon. The second chapter explains the methodology of the research and the selection of the sample, variables taken into account (province, sex, type of private/public and urban/rural Center), standards used during the survey and sixteen selected schools of interest. Later, we explain the publication of the materials, both general criteria as well as characteristics found in each centre of interest. The software used is dispolex (http://www.dispolex.com/). In the third chapter, a quantitative analysis of the sample is realized. They present, in this manner, a series of pictures with the global results of Castilla y León, the number of words, the average of answers and the index of cohesion. We compare the social variables (sex, ownership of the center: public / private; residence of the parents, sociocultural level) with other communities of speech, and we do a summary of the significant sociolinguistic differences. In the fourth chapter, the qualitative analysis of the sample is realized. The compatibility is compared, this way, between groups of informants: men - women; public centers private centers; variable relative investigates; variable sociocultural level. And the pertinent conclusions are extracted. In addition, we do an analysis of the available foreign words found in the sample. We present the general data by comparing it with other investigative studies and we concentrate on the anglicisms. To end, we include three appendices, the pertinent bibliography and the general dictionary of available lexicon of Castile and León.
