Linguistic variant
On the other hand, the concept appears to be used in the field of linguistics to name the concept of linguistic variant and that consists of that specific form of language natural that is characterized by a series of characteristics used by a determined community that are associated with each other by social and geographical relationships.
The same language can acquire linguistic variants depending on the place where the speaker lives, his age and the social group to which it belongs in which the level of education it also influences making a difference.
Variations can be observed in vocabulary, intonation, pronunciation, and the assembly of expressions, while it is in the oral expression where they are mostly evidenced, leaving the writing in the background.
