title = "ACTIV-ES: A comparable, cross-dialect corpus of 'everyday' Spanish from Argentina, Mexico, and Spain",
abstract = "Corpus resources for Spanish have proved invaluable for a number of applications in a wide variety of fields. However, a majority of resources are based on formal, written language and/or are not built to model language variation between varieties of the Spanish language, despite the fact that most language in 'everyday' use is informal/dialogue-based and shows rich regional variation. This paper outlines the development and evaluation of the ACTIV-ES corpus, a first-step to produce a comparable, cross-dialect corpus representative of the 'everyday' language of various regions of the Spanish-speaking world.",
