A linguistic territory in geographic expansion: the Spanish slang gay

  • Juan José Ortega Román
Keywords: Humanistic Geography, Space and language, Madrid, Chueca, gay slang

Abstract

Our purpose, based on Humanistic and Postmodern Geographies, is to analyze an urban district of Madrid (Chueca) from a linguistical –experimental and deductive– point of view in order to understand the extension of gay slang in our society. The particular transformation of that metropolitain urban allows us to know an amount of words wich were reserved to the own community.
