Dataset supporting the University of Southampton Doctoral Thesis "The Role of Linguistic Input in Adult Grammars: Modelling L1 Morphosyntactic Attrition"

Dataset supporting the University of Southampton Doctoral Thesis "The Role of Linguistic Input in Adult Grammars: Modelling L1 Morphosyntactic Attrition".

The data includes Acceptability Judgment Task (AJT) results and linguistic background information for three groups of L1 German speakers residing in either the Netherlands, UK or Spain ('potential attriters'), a group of L1 German control participants, and three groups of 'L2 controls' (one Dutch, English, and Spanish).

This dataset contains:
Three datasets used for the statistical models and plots presented in the thesis.
1) Attritionmaindf – data frame containing L1 AJT data for potential attriters, L1 controls and L2 controls as well as the linguistic background data used in the L1 attrition models.
2) Attriteronlydf – data frame containing L1 AJT data for potential attriters only, their linguistic background data used in statistical modelling as well as additional background data presented in the tables in the thesis.
3) L2acquisitiondf – data frame containing L2 AJT data for potential attriters and L1 data for L2 controls as well as linguistic background data used in the L2 acquisition model
