Words from Italian identified in the synchronic lexicon of Resistencia, Argentina

Abstract

The identification, classification and analysis of voices of Italian origin, found in the databases of the lexicon available from Resistencia, provide information for the preparation of their available dictionary. The calculation of the lexical availability by means of LEXIDISP software, sponsored by the Cervantes Institute, the University of Alcalá and the Association of Linguistics and Philology of Latin America, is based on the administration  of associative tests formed by question-based surveys, which they cover a large number of human interests and those that register Italianisms. These are: Body parts, Clothes, Food and drinks, Objects placed on the table for food, The city, Means of transport, Games and distractions, Professions and trades, Colors and What we do for fun on weekends at night? We consider presence or absence of equivalent terms in the Spanish language, the probable date of incorporation of the lexical units and the presence or absence of these words in the Dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy (DRAE in Spanish).
