Original Data: Audio recordings (semi-spontaneous interviews) with German/Italian and German/French bilingual speakers aged approx. 15-55 years at the recording sessions. The simultaneous bilinguals with German and French/Italian as L1s have been recorded twice, i.e. once for each language. The successive bilinguals with German as L1 and French/Italian as L2, or French/Italian as L1 and German as L1 all have AOAs between 11 and 38 years and have been recorded using their L2.
Corpus: The Hamburg Adult Bilingual LAnguage (HABLA) corpus was compiled between July 2009 and June 2011 in the research project Linguistic Features of First Language Attrition and Second Language Acquisition in Adult Bilinguals (German-French and German-Italian) (E11, principal investigator: Tanja Kupisch), part of the Collaborative Research Centre "Multilingualism", funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) and hosted by the University of Hamburg.
