| Abstract | This article describes the preparation, recording and orthographictranscription of a new speech corpus, the Nijmegen Corpus of Casual Spanish(NCCSp). The corpus contains around 30 hours of recordings of 52 Madrid Spanishspeakers engaged in conversations with friends. Casual speech was elicitedduring three different parts, which together provided around ninety minutes ofspeech from every group of speakers. While Parts 1 and 2 did not requireparticipants to perform any specific task, in Part 3 participants negotiated acommon answer to general questions about society.
