Summary

This chapter presents arguments about why, for the items addressed in the book, Spanish employs a considerably greater number of lexemes. It also explores the significance of the number of countries in which a language is spoken, as well as the regions in which these nations are located. Furthermore, it presents a novel theory regarding the evident influence of Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition on the types of lexical variety in Spanish demonstrated in the book. Finally, also bringing the previous four chapters together is a table containing seventy of the more than 500 words analyzed in said chapters, a representative sampling of the myriad etymological routes by which they entered the Spanish lexicon.
