Abstract

This article lists initiatives of recording of speech data typical of the community resident in Teresina (PI). Its objectives are to describe the current development stage  of different corpora, to compare them, and to suggest an organization of a single database. For submitting this proposal, it is argued in favor of (i) the adoption of an authorship policy for corpora editing, and of (ii) the assembling of interview samples gathered by researchers involved in independent projects, be they sociolinguists or from related areas. Opting for a case analysis, once it depicts a real situation as its starting point, provides the opportunity to shed light on a situation that, certainly, is neither  exceptional nor  unusual to a large number of Brazilian researchers.
