Italian–Spanish Bilingual I AM Task Corpus

This corpus contains responses collected using the I AM Task, a self-concept elicitation instrument in which participants complete the prompt “I am…” with spontaneous self-descriptive statements. The dataset includes productions from Italian–Spanish bilingual speakers and is designed to investigate self-referential processing across linguistic contexts.

Participants (N = 236) generated short self-descriptions in response to the prompt (10 items in Italian L1 and 10 items in Spanish L2 per participant). All responses are provided in the original language of production (Italian or Spanish).

The dataset includes the following variables, each corresponding to a separate column:• Participant_ID• Gender (coded as 1 = female, 2 = male)• L2 proficiency in Spanish (A2, B2 or C1)• Education (academic background, including field of study and institution)• I AM Task responses in Spanish and Italian (provided in separate columns)

The dataset is intended for research in autobiographical memory, bilingualism, second language acquisition, self-concept, self-talk, and discourse analysis. It can be used to examine semantic patterns, culturally and linguistically conditioned self-representation, and variability in self-descriptive language across linguistic contexts.

The dataset is fully anonymized and does not contain any personally identifiable information. It is shared for research and non-commercial purposes.

本语料库收录了通过**I AM任务（I AM Task）**收集的应答数据。I AM任务是一种自我概念引发工具，要求参与者以自发的自我描述语句完成"I am……"的提示句。
本数据集收录了意西双语使用者的语言产出内容，旨在探究不同语言语境下的自我参照加工过程。

本次研究共招募236名参与者，每名参与者需针对该提示句生成10条意大利语（第一语言L1）与10条西班牙语（第二语言L2）的简短自我描述。所有应答均以产出时的原始语言（意大利语或西班牙语）呈现。

数据集包含以下变量，各变量对应单独一列：
• 参与者编号（Participant_ID）
• 性别（编码规则：1=女性，2=男性）
• 西班牙语第二语言熟练度（分为A2、B2或C1等级）
• 教育背景（含学术研究领域与就读院校信息）
• 西班牙语与意大利语版本的I AM任务应答数据（分列存储）

本数据集适用于自传体记忆、双语现象、第二语言习得、自我概念、自我对话以及话语分析领域的研究，可用于分析语义模式、受文化与语言制约的自我表征形式，以及不同语言语境下自我描述语言的变异特征。

本数据集已完成完全匿名化处理，不包含任何可识别个人身份的信息，仅可用于研究与非商业用途。
