ES_VACA Dataset

Dataset Summary

ES_VACA is a Spanish–Valencian–Catalan lexical correspondence dataset designed to facilitate research on lexical variation and equivalence between Spanish (ES), exclusive Valencian (VA), exclusive Catalan (CA), and shared Valencian–Catalan (VA-CA) lexical items.

The dataset is indexed by Spanish words (ES) and provides the corresponding terms in the three other categories, highlighting cases where the Valencian and Catalan varieties diverge or converge.

Dataset Structure

Each row in the dataset includes the following columns:

• ES: The Spanish word or expression serving as the dataset key/index.
• VA: The exclusive Valencian equivalent (used only in Valencian, not in standard Catalan).
• VA-CA: The form common to both Valencian and Catalan, representing shared lexical usage.
• CA: The exclusive Catalan equivalent (used in Catalan but not in Valencian).

The dataset is encoded in UTF-8 and uses semicolons (;) as field separators.
