Summary/Abstract: In recent years, studies of quantitative linguistics and lexical statistics have proliferated, providing very relevant results, especially thanks to the lexical richness and the available lexis, although most of these works have been limited to the study of the vocabulary of young precollege students. In the case of Granada, the study of the available lexicon of the province has been published, but we still lack other lexicometric indicators. With this work, we provide a preliminary approximation to the lexical richness of colloquial Spanish spoken in Granada, focused on the low level of studies in PRESEEA Granada corpus (using a sample composed of 18 informants), in order to obtain the average of words, interval of appearance of words of notional content and, finally, the average of hapax from the variables ‘gender’ and ‘age’.
