%X With more than twenty languages belonging to six linguistic families, the Gran Chaco is a region of great interest for linguists dedicated to the typology and comparison of languages. However, while phonological and grammatical similarities have been the focus of most of these studies, the investigation of semantic patterns has so far played only a  minor role. This work takes up the problem of the similarity and possible diffusion of features  across  the  languages  of  the  Chaco  through  the  identification  and analysis  of  shared  lexico-semantic patterns in the ethnobiological vocabulary of sixteen languages of the region. Our research has been carried out with  the  assistance  of  specific  annotation  and  data  processing  techniques  using  the EDICTORprogram,  which allows, unlike classical methods, to work with a large corpus of digitally available data. The preliminary results of the analysis show a great similarity in the lexical motivation of the analyzed lexemes, mainly through formal patterns such as polysemy, derivation and composition, and semantic relations such as metaphor and metonymy
