The present work is an investigative and comparative study on lexical variations related to the concept of "prostitute", in the urban and rural areas of the municipality of Anori, located in the Amazon.Thus, to understand these occurrences, the objective was to analyze the lexical variants found for the concept of "prostitute" in the locality.For this, we analyzed question 142, belonging to the semantic field "conviviality and social behavior" of the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil (ALiB)Through a qualitative and quantitative research, from a diatopic perspective, questionares were applied with audio recording, involving 08 informants, between the urban area and the anori countryside. Theoretically, this research focuses on Dialectology and Sociolinguistics, through studies de Cardoso (2010), Labov (2008), Feteiro e Silva (2015) e Bagno (2007). And to deal specifically with the lexicon, we approach the studies of Polguère (2018), Henriques (2018), Caixêta (2015) and others.The results reveal that there are lexical differences between the urban area and the rural area of the municipality, because in all cases, the variants because in all cases, the variants found are predominant in only one site, thus evidencing the diatopic variation. In short, it was found that there is a difference in the behavior of the lexical unit between the urban area and the rural area of the municipality of Anori. This is because the criterion is not analyzed only geographic location, but also social criteria such as age group, educational level and gender.
