The data have also been used in Somers & Barðdal (2023), Somers, Jenset & Barðdal (2024b) and Elens, Somers & Barðdal (2024). The dataset, which has been compiled using the Icelandic Web 2020 corpus, or isTenTen20, contains 200 observations each for 15 Icelandic verbs, thus amounting to a total of 3,000 observations. The verbs in question belong to one of three syntactic classes: (1) Dat-Nom verbs, (2) Nom-Dat verbs and (3) Dat-Nom/Nom-Dat verbs. All tokens have been annotated for lemma, verb class and the internal order of the dative and the nominative arguments. In addition, each constituent, dative and nominative, has been annotated for (1) case, (2) (pro)nominality, (3) pronoun type (if applicable), (4) referentiality, (5) person, (6) number, (7) definiteness, (8) animacy and (9) length.2020-08-012020-09-302022-05-012022-09-30IcelandAnnotated corpus dataThe data in this dataset were retrieved from the isTenTen20 corpus, which was accessed through the SketchEngine interface (Jakubíček et al. 2013). For more information about the isTenTen20 corpus, see: <a href="https://www.sketchengine.eu/istenten-icelandic-corpus/" target="_blank">https://www.sketchengine.eu/istenten-icelandic-corpus/</a>. Attributing the individual sources has been done to the best extent. However, to retrieve individual sources, use the source website in the csv file and look for the text found in columns LeftCotext, RightCotext, ConcatenatedText. The extracted text fragments that are contained in the data file IcelandicAlternatingVerbs.csv of this dataset only represent non-substantial portions of the sources listed above, and they do not represent coherent larger texts. Therefore, the reuse (including redistribution) of these excerpts is permitted by the exceptions rules in IPR and database protection regulations, such as Fair use (USA cf. <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html" title="Fair use" target="_blank">US Copyright Act</a>), Fair dealing (UK; cf. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/exceptions-to-copyright" title="Fair dealing" target="_blank">Exceptions to copyright</a>), the <a href="http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/1996/9/2019-06-06" title="Lawful users" target="_blank">EU Database Directive</a> (cf. article 8 Rights and obligations of lawful users), "lover, forskrifter, rettsavgjørelser og andre vedtak av offentlig myndighet" (Norway; cf. <a href="https://lovdata.no/lov/2018-06-15-40/§14" title="offentlige vedtak" target="_blank">§ 14 in Åndsverkloven</a>), "uvesentlige deler av databaser" (Norway; cf. <a href="https://lovdata.no/lov/2018-06-15-40/§24" title="uvesentlige deler av databaser" target="_blank">§ 24 in Åndsverkloven</a>), "sitatretten" (Norway; cf. <a href="https://lovdata.no/lov/2018-06-15-40/§29" title="sitatretter" target="_blank">§ 29 in Åndsverkloven</a>).
