It is based upon gender studies and in the acculturation concept proposed by Cross-cultural Psychology to approach gender values changes resulted from cultural exchange. It addresses to language and discourse questions based on the discourse analysis (DA), developed by Pêcheux, using up discoursive sequences produced by foreign Latin American students.
