Abstract

This study aims to determine the characteristics of semantic performance in aspects related to lexical repertoire, semantic fields and semantic relations in hierarchy type of meanings in 1.564 5-year-old Spanish speaking Peruvian children. The participants did not have special education needs. They belonged to regular public school, located in the most densely populated cities of northern, central and southern Peru. The Sub teste vocabulário of Test de Linguagem Infantil nas áreas de fonología, vocabulário, fluência e pragmática ABFW was administered. The results about lexical repertoire and inclusion semantic relations of the type of meaning hierarchy showed that gender did not influence the performance of the participants. It was also observed that age and region of residence have an influence on these aspects. Furthermore, gender, age and region of residence affected the performance of the participants in semantic fields.
