This paper will provide a detailed geographic analysis of the reach of yeísmo in Spain's monolingual Spanish-speaking autonomous communities, using information provided by the Atlas Lingüísticos published up to 2013, in order to present an overview of the extent and development of this phonetic phenomenon in the Spanish spoken in Spain. It thus aims to build on recent studies (Gómez & Molina, 2013) that have attempted to assess the distribution of this feature throughout the Spanish-speaking world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is part of the Panhispanical Project of Lexical Availability in Spanish, directed by the professor Humberto López Morales. This fact has been determinant to delimitate the methodological bases and the criteria of edition. Only few projects in the field of Hispanic linguistics have a common basis so ambitious that make possible the establishment of successful comparitions between different sintopies. In the present article we are focused in the nomina of foreign words consigned in the available lexicon of pre-universitary students from Seville. We part from the results obtained from four hundred informants and we describe the differences found after the analisys of four variables: 'sex', 'tipe of school', 'sociocultural level' and 'geographical area'. Finally, we compare the Anglicisms provided by the eight provinces of the Autonomous Comunity of Andalusia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
