Abstract

El propósito de este trabajo es investigar el papel que la lengua tiene en los procesos de decisión de los emigrantes y en los resultados de su experiencia migratoria, tomando como referencia el caso español. Para ello se recurre a bases de datos y a enfoques muy poco explorados hasta el momento. Los resultados confirman que la comunidad de lengua incide en la selección del mercado de destino del emigrante, incorpora un premio en su retribución laboral y facilita los procesos de integración social en el mercado español.
