This work explores the linguistic attitudes of 89 speakers of Rioplatense Spanish towards both current Spanish varieties and their own. From a methodological point of view, the study is inserted within the framework of a larger project named Project for the study of beliefs and attitudes towards current Spanish varieties (PRECAVES XXI). Among the results obtained, it highlights the fact that the Rioplatense informants perceive their variety as positive but not consistently. Likewise, positive attitudes towards other varieties prevail, with the exception of Castilian variety, which regularly obtains the lowest evaluations.
