Information about funding sources that supported the collection of the data: Division of Arts and Humanities IRIF research grant to CSK --------------------- DATA & FILE OVERVIEW --------------------- 1. File List A. Filename: SP4.txt Short description: Tab-delimited text file. Coded responses of native Spanish speakers describing illustrations depicting ditransitive events in English. B. Filename: SP5.txt Short description: Tab-delimited text file. Coded responses of British English speakers describing illustrations depicting ditransitive events. C. Filename: SP4_pre_posttest.txt Short description: Tab-delimited text file. Responses of participants to pre-test and post-test questions collected immediately before and after the test session that generated data in SP4.txt. Pre-test questions are from the Peninsular Spanish version of the Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire (LEAP-Q). Marian, Blumenfeld, & Kaushanskaya (2007). The Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire (LEAP-Q): Assessing language profiles in bilinguals and multilingual. Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, 50(4), 940-967. Translation by Puig-Mayenco, Rothman, & Gonzalez-Alonso (2016). D. Filename: SP5_pre_posttest.txt Short description: Tab-delimited text file. Responses of participants to pre-test and post-test questions collected immediately before and after the test session that generated data in SP5.txt. 2. Relationship between files: The files contain data collected for a series of behavioural experiments involving dialogue between English speaking participants (either native British English speakers or native Spanish speakers speaking English) and a confederate (communicating via an audio-only/camera-off video conferencing call). Experiment 1 generated SP4.txt and SP4_posttest.txt. Experiment 2 generated SP5.txt and SP5_posttest.txt. 3. Additional related data collected that was not included in the current data package: Norming data was collected for the verbs used in Experiments 1-2, to determine the extent to which each verb was biased toward usage in the double object or the prepositional dative form. 4. Are there multiple versions of the dataset? No -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: The manuscript reporting this data is under review. Contact c.s.kim@kent.ac.uk for methodological details. 2. Methods for processing the data: Raw data (audio recordings of test sessions) were transcribed by research assistants, and coded by research assistants or experimenters (see details below in Data-Specific Information). Data was anonymised, with individual participants identified by participant ID. 3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: n/a 4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: n/a 5. Environmental/experimental conditions: Sessions were run using Microsoft Teams, with an experimenter, participant and confederate joining each Teams call from their own computers. Calls were audio only, and were recorded with participants' consent. For Experiment 1, participants were recruited from IP addresses in Spain, using the web-based experiment distribution platform Prolific. For Experiment 2, participants were recruited from the University of Kent student community. 6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Participants who were determined not to be native Spanish speakers (for Experiment 1) or native British English speakers (for Experiment 2) after they had participated were excluded from the data. 7. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: A total of nine undergraduate research assistant assisted in collecting, transcribing, and/or coding the data across the two experiments. CSK and GC created the visual stimuli, oversaw processing and coding of the data, interpreted results, and drafted the manuscript for submission. CSK carried out data analysis. -------------------------------------- DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: SP4.txt -------------------------------------- 1. Number of variables: 12 2.
