Replication Data for: Spotting the lect: Asymmetric literacy competencies in multilectal contexts

<p><strong>Description of dataset:</strong> The dataset contains quantitative experimental data from a language classification task collected from 9–10th grade lower secondary school pupils (n = 398) from three Norwegian municipalities. The municipalities were located in Eastern Norway (Telemark county), Northern Norway (Nordland county), and Western Norway (Vestland county). In this task, the participants were asked to classify single sentences as either standard or dialectal Norwegian. The sentences were presented in standard written Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk varieties) and various versions of dialect writing (Eastern, Northern, and Western). Participants' accuracy and reaction times were measured. The file with experimental data also contains by-participant measures of average reading speed in the two standard varieties of written Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk) for a subset of 288 participants, which was derived from a separate study. The file further contains information on some of the participants' (n = 179) writing habits in private digital communication, expressed as the number of words the participants shared with the researchers, as well as the number and proportion of words containing speech-like deviations from the standard.</p><p> The dataset also includes qualitative background questionnaire data collected from a subset of the same participants (n = 352), which includes information about their age, gender, and various language use patterns, both oral and written. The dataset further includes all stimuli used in the experimental task, the list of questions from the background questionnaire, the analysis code, the OpenSesame experiment file, and the consent form template.</p>
