Resumen:
Many studies have described differences in quantity and quality in language input as a function of maternal education in North America. This is a topic of both scientific and applied interest, since early input is thought to impact both early language development and later academic performance, at least according to American data . A great deal less is known about how language environment varies as a function of socio-economic status (SES) in other cultures. To contribute to filling this gap, we are gathering a large corpus from low and middle. SES households in Argentina. In this presentation we report preliminary results which show that our low SES children came in contact with twice as many children and adults than their middle SES peers and that they not suffered from lower overall levels of verbal activity than their middle-SES peers. Further inspection and analysis of data is needed regarding lexical diversity.
