Summary/Abstract: In this research we intend, on the one hand, to continue and complete the study started in other papers, and on the other, to present vesre from a global perspective. For this reason, we want to place it among other mechanisms of lexical creation available in the Spanish language. To this end, we extract data from various lexicographic sources of general character as well as of contrastive type (European Spanish ≠ American Spanish).
