Words can shift their meaning across time. This study shows the results obtained by the exploratory analysis of the semantic shifting on Spanish vocabulary using Diachronic Word Embeddings. Diachronic data consists of a 2018 Spanish corpus, before the COVID-19 outbreak, and a second corpus with documents from 2021. This paper addresses the construction of the diachronic Spanish word embeddings model, as well as the results obtained by the analysis using a non-supervised distance vector technique. The results allowed us to identify topics with the most semantic shift between those periods.
