Description
| This dataset contains one data file (.csv) used in the paper "Del 'rollo' como sustantivo comodín contracultural al 'rollo' aproximador en el español coloquial actual". The data, used to investigate the semantic-pragmatic evolution of 'rollo' from a diachronic perspective, come from a sizeable, manually annotated corpus consisting of colloquial speech, recorded during the second half of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century.
In order to reflect colloquial speech as closely as possible and to provide a comprehensive view of the usage of 'rollo' in colloquial Spanish over several decades, the corpus is composed of five type of sources encompassing a wide range of texts including (1) humor magazines (La Codorniz), (2) social novels, (3) films, (4) digital texts and (5) conversational corpora.
This approach yielded a total of 1100 instances of ‘rollo’ in a corpus of more than 31 million words. The data is annotated for (i) corpus, (ii) decade, (iii) general meaning, (iv) specific meaning, (v) connotative meaning, (vi) number, (vii) determinant, (viii) complement, (ix) verb, (x) syntactic function, (xi) speech act and (xii) pragmatic function.

Article abstract:
This study focuses on the changes that the term "rollo" has undergone to function as a catchall noun and as a pragmatic marker in colloquial conversation over the past fifty years. To explain this process, a corpus of texts characterized by their colloquial nature was compiled, and data analysis was processed using the Behavioral Profile methodology. Once the dynamic changing relationships between meanings were detected, a qualitative explanation of the diachronic route of abstract meanings was carried out, taking into account the sociocultural factors that motivated them. The results reveal that "rollo" experienced significant semantic changes within the sociocultural movement of the Counterculture in the seventies. Its configuration as a vague element in the youth sociolect enabled it to pragmaticalize as an approximator by the late nineties, which turns out to be the most frequent use in current youth language.
