Summary/Abstract: In the Mexican Spanish there is reflected an ample cultural diversity of national territory and its rich linguistic variations. Owing to a great number of substrata and adstrata of native languages the Mexican talk figures among the geolinguistic variants which offer heterogeneity. Its research has undergone a number of peripetia. At present it is possible to see some tendencies that become more and more important. There are analyzed various issues in this paper that are in the center of the current research interest: languages in contact, either autochthonic or English; the issue of a study within lexicological and lexicographical areas from the diachronic and synchronic point of view as well as corpus linguistics that is being applied with a higher intensity.
