Abstract

Some data extracted from the Atlas Lingüístico Galego (a project of Linguistic Geography developed at the Instituto da Lingua Galega of the University of Santiago de Compostela) related to the lexicon that refers to kinship, we will analyze the denotative and connotative semantic values of the terms, and we will show how they relect the bias that the Galician language presents regarding the treatment of the masculine and feminine genders according to the thought embedded in society. In this way, a sociolinguistic portrait of Galician dialectology will be drawn by applying concepts from Discourse Analysis on a database designed for Dialectology.
