In this paper the syntagmatic compounds that appeared in the lexical availability lists of two different corpora are analyzed: Culiacan, Sinaloa, from 2007-2008, and San Luis Potosí, from 2017, both concerned high school students in studies of lexical availability in Mexico. The goal of this work is to demonstrate that the syntagmatic compounds that appear in two corpora of lexical availability in Mexico present minimal percentage variation, even though there is a time difference of 10 years between them. The methodology applied is of the quantitative-contrastive type and consisted of counting and classifying the syntagmatic compounds according to their structure: [N + A] N, [A + N] N, [N + p + N] N and [N + N] N. In addition, I performed an analysis of the compounds by year of the corpus and by the five most available syntagmatic compounds in each center of interest. The conclusions reached are that [N + A] N and [N + p + N] N compounds are productive in the following centers of interest: 08, The school: furniture and supplies; 10, The city; 14, Animals and 16, Professions and trades; while the [N + N] N type compound is more productive in the following centers of interest: 01, Body parts; 02, Clothes: clothing and footwear and 03, The house: the interior and its parts.
