Title
MadSex: collecting a spoken corpus of indirectly elicited sexual concepts
Abstract
AbstractThis paper introduces MadSex, a spoken corpus of 54 sociolinguistic interviews in Spanish based on the topic of sexuality. It was collected in order to study the cognitive sociolinguistic variation of sexual concepts. The paper presents and justifies methodological decisions taken during design, collection and transcription stages. Informants were selected in Madrid, based on a pre-stratified sample divided by sex, age and level of education. The interview methodology relied on an opinion questionnaire designed for the indirect elicitation of sexual concepts, which overcame successfully the limitations imposed by the low frequencies of semantic variables in discourse and the impact of sexual taboo in interaction. Relevant aspects of fieldwork, empathy and ethical protocols are also detailed in the paper. Transcription and markup are explained. Finally, an overview of the corpus is given, as well as some research papers based on it. Examples of the questionnaire are also provided.
