Un subcorpus de propósito especial para el estudio diacrónico del habla caraqueña JF - CHIMERA: Revista de Corpus de Lenguas Romances y Estudios Lingüísticos JA - CHIMERA VL - 5 IS - 1 SE - ENSAYO BREVE DO - 10.15366/chimera2018.5.1.009 UR - https://revistas.uam.es/chimera/article/view/chimera2018.5.1.009 SP - 111-116 AB - The term <em>Corpus Reengineering</em> is proposed to refer to the process of reconfiguration of speech samples for reuse in various scopes (Guirado 2014 y 2015). The process was developed with two corpora of Spanish spoken in Caracas, aiming at the construction a <em>special purpose corpus</em> for diachronic studies: <em>Corpus del habla culta de Caracas</em> 1968-77 (cf. Rosenblat &amp; Bentivoglio 1979) y el <em>Corpus sociolingüístico de Caracas PRESEEA 2004-10</em> (cf. Bentivoglio &amp; Malaver 2014). The methodology included the following steps: i. describe the structuring of the original corpus; ii. evaluate the inoperative and stable aspects of each architecture; and, iii. create the new design and estimate its representativeness. Such methodology produced a new corpus for the real time study of linguistic phenomena in a specific speech community (cultured speakers): <em>Habla culta de Caracas 1973-2011. Corpus diacrónico</em>. It is concluded that <em>Corpus Reengineering</em> is a rewarding practice for Corpus Linguistics that provides useful and interesting products for the linguistic community.
