DescriptionThis corpus, which will be updated in 2020 and 2021, contains extensive materials on the Tuparí language collected by Singerman. All of the material in the corpus (except for clips from WhatsApp) was collected in the state of Rondônia, where the Tuparí reside.

The collection of this material has been supported by the National Science Foundation's Documenting Endangered Languages Program (award #1563228) and by two grants from the Jacobs Research Funds (Bellingham, WA): an Individual Research Grant and a Kinkade Grant. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation or of the Jacobs Research Funds.

Collection of spontaneous non-elicited utterances
This is an extensive collection of non-elicited utterances produced by native speakers of Tuparí in conversation (either in person in Rondônia or over WhatsApp). This collection of non-elicited utterances is constantly being updated and corrected through subsequent interviews with native speakers of Tuparí. For each utterance included, Singerman has aimed to provide the name of the speaker(s), the date, the time, the location, and the broader discourse context. Approximately 165 WhatsApp clips have been included to accompany the original utterances. Comments that politically sensitive, jokey, inappropriate, etc have been anonymized. The vast majority of individuals quoted in this collection have also worked with Singerman as paid language consultants., Esta es una colección extensiva de enunciados no elicitados que salieron de conversaciones (o en vivo en Rondonia o por WhatsApp) con hablantes nativos de tuparí. Esta colección de enunciados no elicitados será actualizada y corregida tras entrevistas con hablantes nativos de tuparí. Por cada enunciado, Singerman pretendió proporcionar el nombre del hablante, la fecha, la hora, el lugar, y el contexto discursivo más amplio. Aproximadamente 165 grabaciones de WhatsApp están presentes junto a los enunicados originales. Cualquier comentario políticamente sensible, de jerga, no apropiado ha sido anonimazado. La gran mayoría de personas citadas en esta colección también ha trabajado con Singerman con ayudante pagado en su investigación lingüística., Esta es una colección extensiva de enunciados no elicitados que salieron de conversaciones (o en vivo en Rondonia o por WhatsApp, Singerman, Adam Roth. 2018.

Interviews with Tuparí speakers
This is a collection of over seventy interviews and elicitation sessions that Singerman conducted between 2015 and 2018. We expect additional interviews to be added to this collection in 2020 and 2021, when Singerman will return to the Rio Branco for additional fieldwork. The interviews included consist of a mixture of classical elicitation; textual translation and analysis; and review of excerpts from in-person conversations or over WhatsApp. Later interviews (which we consider more reliable) focus almost exclusively on excerpts from conversation; publications by Singerman prioritize such conversational excerpts over elicitation. File names give date and speakers' initials., Esta es una colección de más que setenta entrevistas y sesiones de elicitación que Singerman dirigió entre 2015 y 2018. Se espera que más entrevistas sean agregadas a la colección en 2020 y 2021 después de otra visita de Singerman al Rio Branco. Las entrevistas incluyen una mezcla de elicitación clásica; traducción textual y análisis; y revisión de porciones de conversaciones en vivo o por WhatsApp. Las entrevistas más tardías (que se consideran más confiables) se enfocan casi exclusivamente en revisión de conversaciones; las publicaciones de Singerman ponen más énfasis en datos de tales conversaciones que datos elicitados. Los nombres de los archivos indican la fecha y los iniciales del hablante., various villages from the Terra Indígena Rio Branco, especially Bom Jesus, Serrinha, Trindade, Nazaré, Colorado, Figueira, Cajuí, Singerman, Adam Roth. 2018.
