DiaWUG: Diatopic Word Usage Graphs for Spanish

This data collection contains diatopic Word Usage Graphs (WUGs) for Spanish. Find a description of the data format, code to process the data and further datasets on the WUGsite.

Note:

The date given for each word use does not correspond to the exact date of the document from which the use was sampled but only to the midpoint of the rough time period covered by the Corpus del Español (~2000-2014).

The numbers given as grouping for each word use map to Spanish variants in the following way: 0: Spain (ES), 1: Cuba (CU), 2: Colombia (CO), 3: Argentina (AR), 4: Peru (PE), 6: Venezuela (VE).
