Variation in sentence formulae constructed using units from the sphere of religion

Abstract

Language, while element alive, it advances to the rhythm that it is created by the society with whom it develops but, above all, at the mercy of the speakers who use it to communicate. An example of this change appertains to, among others, the lexicon of the religious sphere and, in this article; we provide a sample of this. As a starting point, we selected a group of phraseological units, namely sentence formulas,
extracted from the Preseea-Valencia and Preseea-Madrid (Barrio de Salamanca) corpus and proceeded to its quantitative analysis based
on three social variables: Gender, Age and Level of education of the respondents, to determine the extent to which those have an impact or not in the production of the idioms. Finally, and once exposed to the data in terms of absolute and relative frequencies, we present a qualitative analysis that combines linguistic elements with aspects of the culture and society that are developed.
