Annotations of plural reduplication in NGT (corpus & elicited data)

<p>This item contains annotations that were made as part of the PhD project “<a href="https://www.nwo.nl/en/projects/pgw19003" target="_blank">Morphological reduplication in Sign Language of the Netherlands: A typological and theoretical perspective</a>”. The topic of this specific study is plural reduplication in Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). The annotations were made for two types of video data: a corpus data set and an elicited data set. The methods are explained more elaborately in Van Boven (<a href="https://doi.org/10.31009/FEAST.i3.05" target="_blank">2020</a>, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1515/flin-2021-2039" target="_blank">2021</a>). </p> <p>The Excel file  ‘plural reduplication – annotations’  contains the annotations made for both data sets.</p> <p>The PDF file 'README - plural reduplication - annotations explained' contains a guide through the Excel file, explaining more about the methods, the data set, and the annotation values.</p> <p>The method used to gather the elicited data is a gap-filling task. A complete translation of the background questions, instructions, and items of the gap-filling task can be found in the PDF file 'gap-filling task - translated'.</p> <p><strong>Edit November 2023:</strong> Four additional files were uploaded. The file ‘Plurals in NGT_analysis.Rmd’ contains the statistical analyses of the corpus and elicited data, as reported on in Van Boven (<a href="https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/flin-2021-2039/html" target="_blank">2021</a>). An HTML-version of this file is also available (‘Plurals-in-NGT_analysis.HTML’). The analyses were conducted in R (R Development Core Team. 2008. R: A language and environment for statistical computing. Vienna: R Foundation for Statistical Computing. http://www.R-project.org). The other two newly uploaded files are the input for the statistical analyses:</p> <ul> <li>A .csv version of the Excel file with annotations (‘plurals_reduplication_annotations.csv’), which contains the same annotations as the Excel file, only the file extension is different;</li> <li>And the .csv-file ‘Mouthings_bothannotators’,  since a representative sample of the annotations of mouthings was checked by a native signer, as explained in Van Boven (<a href="https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/flin-2021-2039/html" target="_blank">2021</a>). This file shows the type of mouthing each annotator observed: no mouthing (none); a singular Dutch word (singular); a plural Dutch word (plural); or a reduplicated Dutch word (reduplication).</li> </ul>
