This paper examines the response of the controlled language used to index gender studies documents, specifically in the area of women working for wages. Gender studies in Mexico has earned influence in the field of the social sciences by providing new explanations, while changing prevailing ideological constructs in society. As a result of two decades of research, the authors have developed a language to describe the characteristics and living conditions of women. This paper examines indexing terms used to represent content of documents in the catalogs of libraries of institutions of higher education in Mexico. This approach includes, the analysis of documents, indexing terms in catalogs, indexing terms in controlled languages and the use of the frequencies of the occurrences of the terms in the documents. The study assumes that the analysis of terminology from these standpoints will allow researchers to propose representative terms for this emerging area.

Keywords : Gender Studies; Controlled Languages; Zipf Mathematical Model; Goffman Transition Point.
