Datastel: Afrikaanse vloekwoordtellings [Dataset: Afrikaans swearword scores]

This dataset of user attitude scores to Afrikaans taboo language was collected as part of the multidisciplinary research project 'What the Swearword!' (https://vloek.co.za). The attitude scores were collected through online single-word surveys (SWSs) for individual swearwords that were posted periodically on the above-mentioned project website. Volunteer respondents were recruited through respondent-driven opportunistic sampling, and snow-ball sampling via social media. Respondents firstly gave their informed consent, and then once-off provided information on 22 sociodemographic factors. Thereafter, individual swearwords were judged on at least seven attitudinal dimensions using 9-point Likert-type scales. <br> A complete description of the data is published in the Journal of Open Humanties Data (https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/). <br> ---------------------------------------- REFERENCE AND LICENSING INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- <br> Dataset creators: Gerhard B. van Huyssteen, North-West University Cornelius van der Walt, BlueTek Computers Jaco du Toit, North-West University Roald Eiselen, North-West University Nico Oosthuizen, Independent <br> Copyright: © 2023 Centre for Text Technology (CTexT), North-West University <br> License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) <br> Cite this dataset as follow: Van Huyssteen, Gerhard B., and Eiselen, Roald. 2023.
