In 2012, we interviewed over thirty fishermen fromthe province ofCadiz,asking them aboutthe namesthey use for items related to the sea, using atraditional method known as “Words and Things”. Fromthe 682 vocablesdocumented, twelve areArabisms: albitana, alcatruz, almadraba, arráez, atalaya, atarraya, falucho, jábega, jareta, safina, salabarandzafar. In this article we will study eight:albitana,alcatruz, arráez, atalaya, atarraya, falucho, jábegaandjareta. We will be analyzing them, firstly, by specifying the informant thatoffered the arabismas a response, as well as the location where the responsewas documented. Secondly,we will givemeaningsand spellingvariants. Thirdly,wewill address etymologicalaspects. Finally, we will perform a morphologic and semantic analysiswith the aimof demonstratingpossible changes in category or meaning, and thus determine the causes and effects fortheirsemantic change.
