Semantic fluency responses in Spanish (L1) and English (L2) from Spanish primary-school children

The participants were 192 Spanish-L1 primary-school pupils in Grades 4-6 learning English as a foreign language. Each child was assigned two semantic categories in Spanish (L1) and two different categories in English (L2) in a crossed design.

The categories were animals, fruits, body parts, and clothing. Participants had two minutes per task to write as many category members as possible. The dataset contains 724 participant-language-category tasks and 9,070 written responses.
