Linguistic Variation of River Plate Spanish in the ITPA “Auditory Association” Subtests Variación lingüística del español rioplatense en el subtests de “asociación auditiva” del ITPA

Abstract

The problem that prompted the realization of this research was that the tests that evaluate language are normativizados based on the language center of a community,
often without other sub-varieties is taken into account, which could result in "false negative". Therefore, this study focused on understanding whether the linguistic
variety influences the results of the subtest "Hearing Association" of the ITPA.
Linguistic variety is defined "when two different forms allow," say the same thing” (Álvarez González, A. 2006, p. 25). Indeed, as explained Alejandro Raiter (1995, P. 11-12),
refers to a difference of ways over standard or prestige. Linguistic variations described according to diastratic differences diatopic and diachronic. The sample consisted of
20 children from six years of the city of San Luis (Argentina). It should be remembered that the regionality of a linguistic fact is defined in relation to the existence of a
language center, in this case, the peninsular Spanish, based which has been translated this test, and was applied to children using Spanish la Plata river, the presence of
variations that influence the default results being inevitable.
