COSER Project
Until recently, the study of dialectal variation of Spanish in the Iberian peninsula has been based on various regional atlases and scarce dialectal monographs which devoted particular attention to Castilian (in contrast to the more numerous ones focused on the Asturian-Leonese and Aragonese linguistic domains). Both in atlases and monographs, dialectologists pay more attention to phonetic and lexical variation than to grammatical variation and data have usually been collected by means of a questionnaire. The Audible Corpus of Spoken Rural Spanish (referred hereafter as the Spanish abbreviation COSER) is a corpus made up by recordings of rural speech which started to be compiled in 1990 to be complemented to those traditional sources and has been expanding since then.
