- Expressive vocabulary and regional variables in a sample of students from Maceió Vanessa Porangaba de Medeiros Renata Kiara Lins Valença João Alfredo Tenório Lins Guimarães Ranilde Cristiane Cavalcante Costa Salud Child Language Vocabulary Language tests Language development Purpose: To characterize the expressive vocabulary and analyze the variables in a regional sample of students of first grade of elementary school in Maceió. Methods: The sample was composed by 72 children from three Maceió public schools. To select the sample, the children underwent speech evaluation through the ABFW Test - Phonology; and expressive vocabulary through the ABFW - Vocabulary Test. Following, statistical analysis was conducted using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. Statistical significance was considered as p value smaller than 0.05. Results: There was no difference between gender and among age ranges in lexical performance. Differences among schools were observed. When compared to data from the ABFW, the children from Macei ó underachieved the expected scores in the semantic fields sites, clothing, food, and shapes and colors. The best performance was observed for the fields animal, vehicles, furniture and utensils. The most recurrent substitution processes were the co-hyponym, valorization of the visual stimulus, words that designate their semantic attributes, hypernym, parasynonym or equivalents. Conclusion: The children of Maceió present a similar lexical development, independent of gender or age group, with a difference only among the schools tested. 2013 artículo científico 2317-6431 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=391544054004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3915 Audiology - Communication Research application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Audiologia Audiology - Communication Research (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.18
