Estabilidad de los patrones de productividad y prototipicidad en disponibilidad gramatical entre estudiantes de la Universidad de Salamanca

Recent studies in grammatical availability show that presenting informants with metagrammatical labels, instead of semantic stimuli, raises a series of implications in lexical retrieval (Tomé Cornejo and Recio, 2022). For instance, there are differences in productivity and in the retrieval of a majority of words that share certain morphological, syntactical and semantic characteristics, which could constitute a prototype. This study replicates the aforementioned research to assess the stability of the patterns established by the experts. Special attention will be paid to the variable ‘Academic degree’, which may constitute an influential factor in lexical retrieval. The results suggest that the patterns considered are stable, regardless the academic degree, although a certain degree of variation has been detected.Recientes estudios en disponibilidad gramatical revelan que proporcionar estímulos metagramaticales en lugar de semánticos tiene implicaciones en la recuperación léxica (Tomé Cornejo y Recio, 2022). Entre estas, destacan las diferencias en la productividad y la actualización mayoritaria de palabras con determinadas características morfológicas, sintácticas y semánticas, que podrían configurar un prototipo. Con esta base, el presente estudio replica la investigación de estos autores para comprobar la estabilidad de los patrones establecidos al considerar la variable “Titulación”, que constituye un factor influyente en otros estudios con base semántica. Los resultados muestran un mantenimiento de dichos patrones independientemente de la rama del conocimiento, aunque ponen de manifiesto posibles variaciones

El léxico de la pandemia: un estudio de disponibilidad léxica con estudiantes de la Universidad de Salamanca

The aim of this study is to determine to what extent the pandemic might have influenced lexical retrieval in relation to everyday centers of interest. In order to achieve this, five centers of interest have been selected from Panhispanic Project of Lexical Availability (PPHLD). Additionally, the new centers Pandemia and Coronavirus have been added in two separate experiments. Our data suggest that the pandemic might be connected to changes in the lexical availability and the position of certain terms on the lexical availability lists, as well as to the inclusion of new words
