Replication Data for: Redundancy and rivalry in language. A case study of Russian diminutives

<b>Dataset:</b>The dataset includes examples of different diminutive constructions: morphological diminutives where the diminutive is expressed via suffixation (e.g. dom-ik 'house-dim'), analytical constructions with adjectives meaning 'small' (e.g. malen'kiy dom 'small house') and combinations of morphological diminutives with adjectives meaning 'small' (e.g. malen'kiy dom-ik 'small house-dim'). The data were culled from the Russian National Corpus (www.ruscorpora.ru) in Spring 2017. The dataset covers the period from 1776 to 2012 and consists of 978 examples (only one example per author). The entire dataset is in Russian.
