Description
| This dataset provides the material on which the analysis in the article: "Dependent-Marked Anticausatives in Old Norse-Icelandic: Modeling Productive and Unproductive Alternations" is based, an article which is coming out later this year in the journal Functions of Language.
The dataset contains 119 pairs of linguistic examples from Old Norse-Icelandic. The first example of each pair represents a causative construction, while the second example of the pair represents a corresponding anticausative construction. Each example consists of three lines: a) the example line, b) the glossing line, and c) the translation line, according to the tradition in linguistics. Thus, each pair of examples consists of six lines.
The dataset was gathered during three different research projects. The first period was funded by the Norwegian Research Council (NonCanCase, grant nr. 205007) during Catrine Sandal’s work (PI Jóhanna Barðdal). The second period of data gathering was funded by the European Research Council (EVALISA, grant nr. 313461) during Sigríður Sæunn Sigurðardóttir’s research assistantship at Ghent University (PI Jóhanna Barðdal). And, finally, the third period of the data gathering was during a project on Language Productivity at Work, funded by Ghent University’s Research Fund's Concerted Research Action Scheme (BOF-GOA grant nr. 01G01319, Co-PI Jóhanna Barðdal).
