Resource information

The material consists of interview recordings collected for a sociolinguistic longitudinal study. The roots of the study lie in the project ‘Nykysuomalaisen puhekielen murros’ (The Transformation of Contemporary Finnish Colloquial Language), which was launched in the 1970s. As part of the project, extensive urban colloquial language data was collected in four Finnish university cities: Tampere, Helsinki, Turku, and Jyväskylä.
The longitudinal corpus of Tampere colloquial language is similar in its implementation to the longitudinal corpus of Helsinki colloquial language (http://urn.fi/urn:nbn:fi:lb-2021052503). Both in Helsinki and Tampere follow-up rounds were conducted in the 1990s and 2010s, partly with the same interviewees.
The follow-up material also makes it possible to study changes in spoken language and dialects over time.
