Abstract
Dataset abstract The dataset includes an annotated sample of N = 13292 German written sentences with a Nominative and a Dative argument. The sentences comprise 76 different verbs taking two alternating object orders: 5591 sentences occur with the Dat-Nom order, 8701 sentences occur with the Nom-Dat order. Each sentence is annotated for Object order, the sentence Verb and several features related to both objects, including: (pro)nominality, pronoun type, referentiality, person, number, definiteness, animacy, and length. The sentences and the two objects are shared in a separate .csv-file. An R Notebook with the data analysis is provided as well as an html file with both the R code and output for the analysis.
