The Corpus del español del siglo XXI
(CORPES XXI)
A tool for the study of syntactic variation in
Spanish
In this work we review the multiple uses of the
Corpus del español del siglo XXI
(CORPES XXI) to facilitate the study of
syntactic variation in Spanish. We present different kinds of
searches and data sorting available from the corpus and we provide
some examples of syntactic phenomena, most of them characteristic of
American Spanish areas. In sum, we show that CORPES
XXI can become an extremely useful tool to describe the
syntactic variation of Spanish.
