Data belonging to the article 'Plastic Politics. Revisiting Politicisation and Depoliticisation in Post-War Dutch History', BMGN - Low Countries Historical Review 140:1 (2025) 1-32.

The data contains:

The diachronic frequencies for all nouns in the dataset of parliamentary speeches that meet the frequency threshold used for creating the FastText models.

The diachronic abstractness scores for all nouns in the dataset of parliamentary speeches. These scores are calculated according to the method outlined in the article.

Words identified as subject to conducive abstraction.

Words identified as subject to plastification.

The last two tables contain various types of information about the frequency and abstractness trends belonging to a word (identified as subject to conducive abstraction / plastification):

start_a: start index of detected period of abstractness increase/decrease

stop_a: end index of detected period of abstractness increase/decrease

start_f: start index of detected period of frequency increase/decrease

stop_f: end index of detected period of frequency increase/decrease

slope_a/f: slope of trend in detected period of frequency/abstractness increase/decrease

l_a/f: length of detected period of frequency/abstractness increase/decrease

a/f_difference: difference in frequency/abstractness in detected period of frequency/abstractness increase/decrease

ccf_period: Spearman correlation between frequency/abstractness in detected period of frequency/abstractness increase/decrease

a/f_min/max_period: minimum/maximum frequency/abstractness values in detected period of frequency/abstractness increase/decrease

a/f_min/max_full: minimum/maximum frequency/abstractness values in full frequency/abstractness time series

start/end_v_a/f: value of frequency/abstractness at start/end of detected period of frequency/abstractness increase/decrease

a/f_minmax_diff: difference between minimum and maximum value of frequency/abstractness in detected period of frequency/abstractness increase/decrease
