Health Questionnaire

Puerto Rican Spanish is a variation of Spanish spoken in Puerto Rico, an archipelago in the Caribbean. It is heavily influenced by Aruhuacan and African languages, Andalusian Spanish, and, most recently, American English.The survey was administered in Spanish. There were 30 participants, ages ranging from 18 to 67. For the purpose of this part of the study, Spanish was considered the minority language and English the dominant language, given Puerto Rico’s political status as an American Commonwealth. This database includes interview data of 27 Puerto Rican Spanish speakers between 18 and 63 years old. It contains 686.8 MB of interview data in mp3 files (9 hours 18 minutes 30 seconds).
