This dataset contains the data that is used in:Struik, Tara and Ans van Kemenade. Information structure and OV word order in Old and Middle English: a phase-based approach. To appear in Journal of Comparative Germanic LinguisticsThe history of English is characterised by variation in the position of the object with the regard to the verb. Where Present-day English only allows VO word orders, earlier stages display a significant number of OV structures as well, which are lost after the 13th century. It has frequently been suggested that this variation is influenced by information structure. We test the hypothesis that OV orders are the result of the discourse-givenness of the object. Our understanding of what fuels this variation feeds the formal analysis that is proposed; OV orders are derived from a VO base. The syntactic trigger to move objects leftward is lost.The hypothesis was tested by retrieving subclauses with a finite verb, a non-finite verb and a direct object from historical English corpora (850-1570). The objects in the Old English and early Middle English period were subsequently annotated for information structure and length. This dataset contains the datafiles, divided by period. Translations are included in separate datafiles. Non-referential objects are included in separate datafiles. This dataset also contains the data on quantified and negated objects and the (non-annotated) data from the late Middle English and early Modern English period.Structure of this dataset:The data collection procedure and codebook is described in datacollection.pdfThe annotation scheme is that used to annotate the Old English and early Middle English data is described in annotation.pdfThe source materials that are included in the study textsincluded.pdf

This experimental study assessed if specific existential conditions motivate narrative processing of tragic entertainment about loss. Participants were assigned to a 3 (MSS: Mortality Salience of Self vs. MSLO: Mortality Salience of Loved One vs. No Mortality Control) X 2 (Tragic Entertainment: Moderate vs. High Eudaimonic Quality) factorial design (N=187). We measured death thought accessibility and mixed affect as intermediate processes, and boundary expansion of the self-concept and identification as measures of narrative processing. This dataset is a revised version of the touched by tragedy dataset that was registered in 2019 (Das & te Hennepe, 2019). The present version is identical to the previous dataset, but includes two additional composite scales (MC_moving and MC_Elevating) and two additional (recoded) numeric variables for education and nationality.

Dataset of relevant newspaper articles that are the primary data underlying the doctoral research project of Marie Garnier. This dataset includes the following files:(1) Metadata file (text file, information to understand the dataset)(2) Bilbiographic information file (markup language text file, bibliographic information of newspaper articles retrieved and included)(3) Coding handbook (text file)(4) Raw dataset (qualitative data analysis file, newspaper articles included in content analysis)(5) Processed dataset (qualitative data analysis file, coded newspaper articles included in content analysis) Date: 20-01-2017 - 23-01-2017 (data collection) Date: 2018 (data analysis)

The dataset presented here includes sculptural portraits of Roman emperors (mostly carved from marble or casted in bronze) that were collected for the purposes of analyzing the representation of Roman emperors in freestanding sculpture as part of the NWO funded research project "Constraints and Tradition: Roman Power in Changing Societies" (2017-2021). The dataset consists of processed data. Entries in the dataset were collected using museum catalogues and archaeological/art-historical reports. The dataset includes portrait heads (when applicable: together with their accompanying body and base) and provides detailed information on their provenance, formal features, iconography, context.

This dataset contains data on population, prices, wages, coffee production, amount of land under plantations and tax data used to compute inequality for the regions of West Sumatra and Priangan (West Java) during the period 1800-1940. The data is used in the publication entitled: "Globalization, Inequality and Institutions in West Sumatra and West Java, c. 1800-1940".

Like for most signed languages, there is great variation in sign language fluency amongst Deaf users of Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). This relates, for example, to the age of acquisition of NGT, the type of education followed by the signer, and whether the signer grew up with hearing or deaf family members. Given the lack of suitable language assessment tools available to tap into this variation in NGT fluency in adults (L1/L2), we developed an efficient (short and simple) NGT assessment tool. After exploring the range of existing assessment tools as described by Enns et al. (2016), we developed a sentence repetition task (SRT) for NGT, the NGT-SRT. In line with the existing SRTs (ASL-SRT, Hauser et al., 2006; BSL-SRT, Cormier et al., 2012; DSGS-SRT, Haug et al. 2015), thirty-nine sentences were created, varying in length and complexity. The different levels of complexity were developed conform a combination of guidelines for the existing SRTs in signed languages, guidelines developed by Mayberry (unpublished) for a related test, and guidelines developed in the European COST project, which focused on SRTs in spoken languages: Action IS0804, described by Marinis and Armon-Lotem (2016). The thirty-nine sentences were equally distributed across three levels of complexity.

These video recordings (with limited transcriptions for just a few files) were made by Dr. Nini Hoiting, developmental linguist at the Royal Kentalis institute for the deaf "H.D. Guyot" in Haren, Groningen, the Netherlands, between 1988 and 2009. Most recordings were not used for academic research on language development, but for monitoring the children's language development. Files not yet migrated to Data Station.
