It is analyzed from three points of view: the encoding in dictionaries, contrasting the dictionary of the Real Academia Española with other dictionaries; the formation of the units, which covers the phenomenon of the loan and the different mechanisms of creation of words; and, thirdly, the lexical variation that characterizes this vocabulary.

Similarly, electronic dictionaries have been taken as reference, in connection with the above mentioned project which belongs this study.
