RAMIREZ SARMIENTO, Albeiro Migue Ángel  y  PARDO GARCIA, Néstor Alejandro. Category norm for the Spanish spoken in Bogota, Colombia. Folios [online]. 2010, n.32, pp.89-109. ISSN 0123-4870.

In this article, we present the results of a study carried out in Bogotá, Colombia with 210 university students from five different universities pertaining to diverse socio-demographic groups. The objective of the study was to establish the lexical category norms. 56 lexical-semantic categories used by Battig and Montague (1969) in their classic study were employed. More than 7800 words were collected and organized by range and mode. There are no other studies on this subject for Colombian or Latin American Spanish. We hope that the results presented here will be used both in psycholinguistic and language therapy studies. The collected data were compared to one of the category norm studies made for European Spanish.

Palabras clave : Category norm; psycholinguistics; lexical category; Bogotá Spanish.
