Remarks

This corpus is made up of productions in the mother tongue (French, Spanish, English, Portuguese, Bulgarian) and in a foreign language (Spanish, English, French, Portuguese). The participants are mainly university students.

Its ambition is to constitute a rich database for the exploration of specific questions of language use and acquisition. It is very strongly inspired by typological studies on the conceptualization and expression of movement, and in particular the data collection device based on the story “Frog, where are you? (Slobin, 1996).
