The CoBiVa (Corpus Bilingüe del Valle) documents the Spanish and English spoken in south Texas, specifically in the Rio Grande Valley. Graduate and undergraduate students, under the PIs’ supervision, collect, transcribe, and analyze interviews with local speakers. This digital oral corpus provides material for multiple linguistic analyses of local language varieties and subsequent comparisons with other varieties.
The Corpus Bilingüe del Valle has been made possible in part by a Humanities Collections and Reference Resources grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor. However, any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this website and larger project, do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Additional funding was provided by a Transforming Our World Strategic Planning Grant from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
