The corpus NomadLingo1.0 contains transcripts of extracts from naturally-occurring conversations which were audio-recorded between November 2023 and April 2024 at social events organised and promoted at digital nomad communities based in Madeira and Canary Islands. The total time of transcribed recording is 11 hours 38 mins. For further information about the texts in the corpus see Section 4. The corpus aims to represent translingual interactions based on the fluid use of English as a lingua franca, other linguae francae such as Spanish, and strategies of transcultural communication like intercomprehension and peer/self-translation.

This corpus consists of semi-spontaneous speech data produced by elderly residents of the Basilicata region in Italy. In total, 40 individuals participated: the patient group consists of 20 participants with a diagnosis of dementia (9 cases of Alzheimer’s disease, 2 patients with mixed dementia, 5 patients with not-further-specified dementia, 3 patients with vascular dementia, and 1 patient with frontotemporal dementia), and the control group consists of 20 healthy individuals matched for age, gender, and geographical origin. Three linguistic tasks were administered to all participants: two narrative tasks (the first one was about an excursion or a trip, and the second was about Christmas festivities), and an image description task. This resulted in 8 hours and 50 minutes of recorded semi-spontaneous speech, which was then transcribed, segmented, and annotated using ELAN. This research project was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna (no. 0072032/2022). Due to the Italian privacy policy, raw data of the corpus (i.e., speech recordings, transcriptions, and clinical information of the participants) is not available. Processed data (i.e., tables of acoustic/rhythmic/lexical/syntactic values, with the name of the speakers masked through an alphanumeric acronym to ensure anonymity) are available from the contact person upon reasonable request.
