Abstract
This dissertation thesis objective was to analyze the process of lexical adaptation of Mexican migrants living in Granada, Spain, based on lexical availability. The research was conducted on the basis of questionnaires that were applied to 100 Mexican respondents,. They were asked to write down as many words as they could think of in connection with sixteen concepts called centers of interest within two minutes. The results were then analyzed based on five variables (gender, family life, occupation, length of stay in Granada and age). The results of the research show that the factor based on length of stay produces the greatest lexical influence together with the factor of family life. Some semantic fields show a greater predisposition to lexical adaptation in favor of the variant of Spanish spoken en Granada, while in others the lexical variation is almost absent. The obtained results represent a contribution to the understanding of the process of lexical adaptation of Mexican migrants residing in Granada, and may be useful for future research projects in the field of lexical availability.
