Léxico de la vivienda en el español centroamericano

The present article is an empirical study of dialectal, semantic and ethno-linguistic character, which describes and analyzes words related to the world of housing in Central-American Spanish. The study is based on data collected from the linguistic-ethnographic atlases of Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The analysis proves that, generally, Central-Americans organize and categorize the lexicon of housing in a different way as given in standard Spanish.
