La variación de unidades fraseológicas en corpus comparables de hablantes granadinos y ecuatorianos

Resum

Th is article aims to provide examples of phraseological variability in comparable sociolinguistic corpora of speakers from Granada and Ecuador. On the one hand we analyse the frequencies of ten selected expressions whose presence in the corpus suggests the possibility of obtaining signifi cant data; on the other hand, we study the distribution of phraseological and lexical variants of two phraseo-lexical variables. As independent variables we consider the level of education, age, sex, as well as the speech community. Th e original character of this study lies in the aim of presenting signifi cant data, although the analysis reveals a set of diffi culties which limit the validity of the study. Nevertheless, it has been possible to determine factors which, in a signifi cant way, infl uence the occurence of some of the phraseological units chosen for the analysis.
