Considering as the object of the study phenomena related to linguistic variation in Perspectiva textbook collection from Elementary Level, from 6th to 9th grades it will be verified if in these books are activities that include such phenomena. The objective of this study is to know how these phenomena happen and how often them happen because, if we consider the cultural diversity of Brazil, we should also recognize the linguistic differences, once there are social and regional varieties, among others. Knowing the importance about reflecting on the role of school about in his reality, it was sought to support this research on Sociolinguistic Theories associated with Socionteractionist Theory advocated in PCNs, and on theoretical assumptions of authors such as Mollica and Braga (2010) Bagno; Stubbs; Gagnée (2002), Bagno (2004, 2007), Marcuschi (2004) and Travaglia (2008). The results of this study point out to a language teaching based on the most prestigious linguistic variety.
