Abstract

An approach to female speech based on the analysis of the available lexicón of 33 immigrant women students of Spanish as a foreign language. This paper pretends to analyze how female speech is reflected in lists of lexical availability of students of Spanish as foreign lan-guage. This work is part of a larger research that analyses the lexical availability of students of Spanish as foreign language in Madrid, in which participated 300 respondents. For this analysis, we have built a subsample of 33 immigrant women with different mother tongues and sociolinguistic levels. Thereby we have analyzed the lexicón provided by immigrant women in the availability lists, in order to check whether the sex factor and other sociological characteristics are decisive in their lexical production.
